U.S. Removes Sanctions From Three Airlines and Two Aircraft Linked to IRGC

The United States removed counterterrorism sanctions from two aircraft and three airlines linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps on Wednesday, according to details posted on the U.S. Treasury Department website. The action covers five aviation assets in total: two aircraft and three carriers. All three published reports described the assets as having ties to the IRGC and identified the removed measures specifically as counterterrorism sanctions. They did not name the aircraft or airlines, describe the nature of their IRGC links, or provide the U.S. government's reason for lifting the restrictions.
