Entities that provide services for designated Iranian airlines, including financing, reservations and ticketing as well as procurement of aircraft parts, could be at risk of enforcement actions or economic sanctions from the U.S., the Treasury Department said in an advisory.

They were transferred to solitary cells Monday morning to be prepared before being sent to the gallows.

US Now Says It &#039;Engaged&#039; 2 Iranian Drones, Not 1 The U.S. military says that when it destroyed an Iranian drone last week over the Strait of Hormuz, it also took aim at a second drone. U.S. Central Command says that one Iranian drone crashed into the sea after the USS Boxer took what Central Command called &quot;defensive action&quot; against it last Thursday. It said the Boxer also &quot;engaged&quot; a second Iranian drone at the same time, but could not confirm it was destroyed. Officials have said the Boxer used an electronic jamming device on the ship to attack the drones, rather than fire missiles at it. France, Italy, Denmark Back European-Led Naval Mission for Strait of Hormuz France, Italy, the Netherlands, and Denmark support a European-led naval mission to ensure safe shipping through the Strait of Hormuz, three senior EU diplomats said on Tuesday after Britain proposed the idea following the Iranian regime\u2019s seizure of a tanker. Britain proposed the idea to senior EU diplomats at a meeting in Brussels, saying it would not involve the European Union, NATO or the United States directly, the diplomats said. Spain, Sweden, Poland, and Germany also showed interest. The mission to protect vital Middle East oil shipping lanes could be run by a joint Franco-British command, one of the envoys said.
