Sanctioned Iranian cargo plane flew to Minsk three times in recent weeks

On September 8, a heavy cargo Boeing 747 belonging to Iranian airline Qeshm Fars Air, with tail number EP-FAB, flew to Minsk.

This is already the third time in the past few weeks that the aircraft has flown to Minsk, noted the outlet reform.news. The airline and its aircraft have been under US sanctions since 2019 for cooperating with Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in arms deliveries.

Prior to this, the plane had flown to Minsk on August 26. On August 27, it departed from Minsk and flew over Russian territory for nearly five hours before returning to the Belarusian capital. The following day, August 28, the aircraft headed to Tehran.
