## Summary

**tougher U.S. sanctions targeting Mahan Air and its enablers.** This bill would push U.S. policy to consider new sanctions tied to Mahan Air's role in moving personnel and materiel for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and to evaluate whether Iran Airports Company should face penalties under Executive Order 13224, with the President required to decide and report to Congress within 90 days. - Iran Airports Company: Would be evaluated for possible designation under EO 13224 and could face U.S. sanctions if the President so determines. - Foreign persons and companies that assist, sponsor, or provide support to Mahan Air could become subject to U.S. sanctions, raising risk for partners and service providers. - Mahan Air: The bill reiterates its 2011 designation as a Specially Designated National and cites Treasury findings that it transports fighters and materiel for the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps — Qods Force while also operating international passenger routes.

If enacted, the President would have 90 days after enactment to tell Congress whether to apply terrorism sanctions to the Iran Airports Company under Executive Order 13224. The report would be unclassified, but it could include a classified annex. This is an administrative step that could lead to f…
- Sanctions on Mahan Air and helpers: mixed, low. If enacted, the bill would restate that Mahan Air was put on the U.S. terrorism sanctions list on October 12, 2011.
