BIS Adds Iranian Plane to Restricted Aircraft List

The Bureau of Industry and Security updated its restricted aircraft list with another Iranian-owned and operated plane after it violated U.S. export controls, the agency said. BIS said the cargo plane -- owned by Saha Airlines, which is operated by the Islamic Republic of Iran Air Force -- flew into Russia without BIS authorization. Certain activities involving the plane, including maintenance and repair, are now subject to restrictions outlined in General Prohibition 10 of the Export Administration Regulations. The agency added three Iranian-owned planes to the list last week.
