IranAir, banned over European skies since last year has now been sanctioned by the US for supporting "terrorism" and using it's passenger planes to shuttle supplies and weapons to their allies. Of course Iran will do whatever is needed to make sure the jihad continues, if that entails putting innocent passengers at risk, so be it.
I wonder if IranAir gives out little packages of Pistachios?

US imposes economic sanctions on Iran Air
In a statement, the treasury department also said the airline had provided "material support and services" to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard.
It said the paramilitary group supported terrorism and committed human rights abuses against protesters.
The US accuses Iran of aiming to develop nuclear weapons. Tehran says its programme is wholly peaceful.
In addition, the US treasury department accused Iranian port company Tidewater Middle East Company of the Revolutionary Guard Corp of exporting arms and military equipment from the seven ports it operates in the country.
"Preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons is a top US government priority and we remain deeply concerned about Iran's nuclear intentions," US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner said in a joint statement.
"The United States is committed to a dual-track policy of applying pressure in pursuit of constructive engagement, and a negotiated solution."
Iran Air has faced US sanctions since 1995, preventing it from buying aircraft or spare parts from Boeing or Airbus.
Last year, the European Commission banned Iran Air jets from European air space, citing safety concerns.
