Info:
The U.S. Department of Commerce’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) issued an order denying the export privileges of Bahar Safwa General Trading for ongoing efforts to illegally export civilian aircraft to Mahan Air in violation of the Export Administration Regulations (EAR). The BIS order adds the parties to an existing Temporary Denial Order (TDO) against Mahan Air of Iran. TDOs deny not only the right to export from the United States, but also the right to receive or participate in exports and reexports from the United States or in other transactions that are subject to the EAR;
Mahan Air works with the IRGC-QF to ferry operatives, weapons, and funds in support of the Asad regime on its flights to Syria, and also provides transportation services to Lebanese Hizballah, which has been separately designated as a terrorist group;
On May 21, 2015, a modification order issued adding Al Naser Airlines, Ali Abdullah Alhay, and Bahar Safwa General Trading as respondents. As detailed in that order and discussed further infra, these respondents were added to the TDO based upon evidence that they were acting together to, inter alia, obtain aircraft subject to the Regulations for export or reexport to Mahan in violation of the Regulations and the TDO;
On May 16, 2019, BIS, through OEE, submitted a written request for renewal of the TDO that issued on December 11, 2018. The written request was made more than 20 days before the TDO’s scheduled expiration. Notice of the renewal request was provided to Mahan Airways, Al Naser Airlines, Ali Abdullah Alhay, and Bahar Safwa General Trading in accordance with Sections 766.5 and 766.24(d) of the Regulations. No opposition to the renewal of the TDO has been received;
