The United States has seized a Boeing 747 cargo plane previously owned by sanctioned Iranian airline Mahan Air, which was sold to Venezuelan cargo airline Emtrasur in violation of American export control laws. The U.S. alleges that Mahan Air aided Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and Hezbollah, and the plane's arrival in the U.S. is seen as an effort to prevent Iran and its proxies from profiting from U.S. technology. Venezuela has accused the U.S. and Argentina of "collusion" and vowed to take action to restore the aircraft to its legitimate owner.
