Designation of Iran Air on OFAC's SDN List and Restrictions for
Iranian Americans

Yesterday, the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the United
States Department of the Treasury announced that it has added Iran
Air, the largest Iranian air career, to its "Specially Designated
Nationals and Blocked Persons List" (SDN List).

OFAC stated that its designation of Iran Air was due to Iran Air's provision of material
support, including military transport service, to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

The inclusion of Iran Air on OFAC's SDN list means that U.S. persons - United
States citizens and permanent residents (anywhere in the world) and
anyone who is "physically" in the United States (regardless of
immigration status) - may not engage in financial and commercial
dealings with Iran Air without first obtaining a specific license from
OFAC.

Among other transactions, OFAC's designation means that you:

May not buy tickets from Iran Air for travel to and from Iran.

May not use Iran Air for domestic travel when you are visiting family
and friends in Iran.

May not ask another person to arrange travel through or by Iran Air.

May not use or transfer your frequent flyer miles or other travel
awards relating to Iran Air.

May not receive funds (including retirement funds) from Iran
Air.
