The OverRuled: BIS Export Controls Module has been updated with the following actions:
- 31 Oct 2025 - Mahan Airways; Pejman Mahmood Kosarayanifard; Mahmoud Amini; Kerman Aviation; Sirjanco Trading LLC; Mahan Air General Trading LLC; Mehdi Bahrami; Al Naser Airlines; Ali Abdullah Alhay; Bahar Safwa General Trading; Sky Blue Bird Group; Issam Shammout - Denial Order; No monetary penalty
BIS renewed against Mahan Airways, Pejman Mahmood Kosarayanifard, Mahmoud Amini, Kerman Aviation, Sirjanco Trading LLC, Mahan Air General Trading LLC, Mehdi Bahrami, Al Naser Airlines, Ali Abdullah Alhay, Bahar Safwa General Trading, Sky Blue Bird Group, and Issam Shammout (“Respondents”) a Temporary Denial Order (“TDO”) issued on October 29, 2024, for a period of one year in relation to violations of the Export Administration Regulations (“EAR”). On March 17, 2008, BIS issued an Order denying Mahan Airways’, and other denied persons, export privileges for 180 days. The Order was issued ex parte pursuant to Section 766.24(a) of the EAR and went into effect on March 21, 2008. This Order was renewed in accordance with Section 766.24(d) of the EAR. Subsequent renewals also have been issued, including most recently on October 29, 2024. Some of the renewals and modifications that have been issued have added certain parties as respondents or as related persons, or effected the removal of certain parties. The TDO was originally imposed on Respondents because they engaged in the reexport and attempt to reexport of six ECCN 9A991.b U.S.-origin aircraft to Iran without the required licenses. Since that time, BIS has continued to determine that the Respondents have acted in violation of the Regulations and the TDO; that such violations have been significant, deliberate and covert; and that given the foregoing and the nature of the matters under investigation, there is a likelihood of imminent violations. Therefore, renewal of the TDO is necessary in the public interest to prevent imminent violation of the Regulations.
