Trump Admin Pressing Allies to Ban Iranian Airline Tied to Terrorism, Espionage.
WFB:
The Trump administration is locked in a diplomatic push to convince European allies to ban a major Iranian state-controlled airline known to be engaged in illicit transport and espionage operations, according to U.S. officials who spoke to the Washington Free Beacon.
Germany’s decision to ban Iran’s Mahan Air—a state-controlled entity known to carry out clandestine military operations on the Islamic Republic’s behalf—is being viewed as a diplomatic coup by the top U.S. official in Berlin and is said to be generating support for expanding this ban across the European Union, a move that would deal a severe blow to Tehran’s international reach, according to U.S. officials familiar with the matter.
The ban on Mahan has been in the works for months, according to senior U.S. officials, who told the Free Beacon the airline is complicit in the Iranian regime’s spying and military operations. Efforts to crackdown on Mahan follow a similar pressure campaign by the Trump administration to prevent Iran from airlifting out of Germany millions of dollars.
U.S. officials familiar with the ongoing diplomatic matter described Iran as trying to airlift several planeloads of cash out of Germany, a major cash influx that could have aided Iran’s expansionist foreign policy goals, including its operations in Syria, Yemen, and other regional hotspots.
The amount was so large that Iran attempted to use multiple planes to airlift the cash, an effort that was recently stopped in no small part by top U.S. officials stationed in Germany, sources said. read more
I bet Iran misses their good islamic buddy, barack.
obama would have gladly flown pallets of cash, gold and other securities to iran at no charge, all at the expense of the American taxpayer.
Obama and the $150 Billion he gave to Iran for terrorist activities…..Schumer and Pelosi had no problems with his actions…….But $5 Billion for border security is out of the question, they chose to shutdown the government.

It’s heartening to see reports like this. Gives a better scope to the multiple problems President Trump is juggling so skillfully! What an amazing president.
Makes Nancy and Chuckles stand out like the evil, childish, egotistical, elitists they are.

I say we take $5 billion of that as, ‘Marshall Plan reparations.’ 😀
I know a GOOD place to use it… 😉
Unless it’s 5’s and 10’s, it don’t take multiple aircraft to fly “millions” of dollars from Germany to Iran.
Wonder how much is really involved?
How much money did the seditious gay Kenyan commie illegally give Iran? Hows about we divert a few of those plane loads of cash?
Now I know why John Effing Kerry is back in the news raging against Trump. It’s not just you, Nancy. Trump is grounding Lurch’s planes, too.
The OMB has ended the use of military transport for ALL POLITICIANS!
Trump grounded all the free planes.
