This bill, known as the "Reinforcing Sanctions on Iranian Terrorists Act," seeks to strengthen existing sanctions against entities supporting terrorism. It highlights that Mahan Air was designated in 2011 for its role in supporting terrorism and the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps–Qods Force, including transporting fighters and arms to Syria. The legislation notes that Mahan Air utilizes the same aircraft for both commercial passenger routes and its illicit activities, with its operations facilitated by the state-owned Iran Airports Company . Consequently, the bill mandates that the President, within 90 days of enactment, must determine whether to apply sanctions to the Iran Airports Company under Executive Order 13224, which targets terrorists and their supporters. This aims to expand sanctions to foreign persons providing support to Mahan Air.
