The new photographic evidence published by a Washington, D.C., think-tank, which they provided to Congress, shows Iran using its flagship commercial carrier, Iran-Air, to ferry militants to Syria, who have joined the fight against U.S. forces. The photos have upset congressional leaders, who accuse Iran of violating the nuclear deal, which prohibits it from using commercial air carriers for military purposes.
Congressmen Peter Roskam (R-IL), Andy Barr (R-KY), Lee Zeldin (R-NY) and Dave Reichert (R-WA) sent a letter with the photos to the U.S. Secretary of Treasury, expressing concern and asked the administration to investigate further, and consider imposing new sanctions on Iran.
