The U.S. Treasury on Wednesday imposed new sanctions on the Iranian airline of Mahan Air and its shipping industry, accusing it of "transporting lethal aid from Iran to Yemen." Iran's Civil Aviation Organization (CAO) dismissed any negative impact of recent U.S. sanctions on the Islamic Republic's airlines, Tehran Times daily reported on Friday.
