The council’s committee monitoring an arms embargo and other sanctions against Iran added cargo airline Yas Air and SAD Import Export Company to its blacklist.
Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the U.N., welcomed the new designations, saying the companies were responsible for shipping ammunition, assault rifles, machine guns, mortar shells and other arms from Iran to Syria.
“The committee’s decision underscores the growing international concern over Iran’s use of the transportation and shipping sectors as a means to export arms and conduct other illicit activities in violation of U.N. sanctions,” she said.
