WASHINGTON - Washington on Tuesday imposed sanctions on a China-based company it accused of acting on behalf of U.S.-blacklisted Mahan Air, the Treasury Department said, and denounced the Iranian airline’s flights to Venezuela.
Tuesday’s action freezes any U.S.-held assets of Shanghai Saint Logistics and generally bars Americans from doing business with the company. “It is legitimate and legal for parties in the international community to engage in mutually beneficial cooperation with Iran that is in accordance with international law,” Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said at a regular media briefing.
The United States and dozens of other nations recognized Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim president last year. But Maduro remains in power, backed by Venezuela’s military as well as Russia, China, Cuba and Iran.
