Mahan Air was sanctioned by the U.S. government for financially, materially and technologically supporting Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force and Beirut-based Hezbollah.

The case of an Iranian man wanted for extradition to the U.S. for allegedly helping a terrorist-linked airline evade sanctions continues in B.C. Supreme Court.

Sari was the Dubai general manager for Mahan Air, which the U.S. government sanctioned in October 2011 for financially, materially and technologically supporting Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force and Beirut-based Hezbollah. However, Sari was arrested due to an outstanding U.S. warrant for allegedly trying to get around sanctions by using front companies and middlemen to disguise financial transactions for Mahan Air and deceive banks.

Winteringham, in October 2023, ruled in an abuse of process application that Canada Border Services Agency officials had breached Sari’s international rights to contact Iranian consular officials on his arrest. Those rights are in the Vienna Convention.
