France bans Iran's Mahan Air for flying arms, troops to Syria, elsewhere

None

France has banned flights in and out of the country by Iran's Mahan Air, accusing it of transporting military equipment and personnel to Syria and other Middle East war zones, diplomats said on Monday, after heavy US pressure on Paris to act.

 

The decision to revoke Mahan's licence to operate in France was made after Germany banned the airline in January.
