Iran's Mahan Air banned in Germany - media

The German government has withdrawn permission to operate for Iranian airline Mahan Air from its airports.

"The Federal Aviation Office (LBA) will this week suspend the operating license of Iranian airline Mahan," Sueddeutsche Zeitung daily reported.

The EU earlier this month targeted sanctions at Iran's security services and two of their leaders, accused of involvement in a series of murders and planned attacks against Tehran critics in the Netherlands, Denmark and France.

Brussels' measures included freezing funds and financial assets belonging to Iran's intelligence ministry and individual officials but did not target any companies.

Mahan Air was blacklisted by the U.S. in 2011, as Washington said the carrier was providing technical and material support to an elite unit of Iran's Revolutionary Guards known as the Quds Force.
