The US Treasury department penalised six different people and businesses across Russia, China, India and Iran on Thursday. Officials say these foreign agents work for Mahan Air, a blacklisted carrier that moves Iranian military troops alongside drones and weapons. A recent drone attack on gas ships in Egypt pushed tensions higher by threatening the nearby Suez Canal.
