The FBI has identified the Portuguese company Business United as an alleged intermediary in a network selling helicopters and parts to Iran. This development comes as part of an investigation into operations involving Pasargad Helicopter Company, an entity associated with the Iranian military fleet.

According to information released by Público, this company and its owner, António Mira, have been sanctioned by the United States, resulting in the freezing of related assets.

Miguel Frasquilho, former president of TAP and AICEP, has been associated with Business United, which is now mentioned in the FBI's investigations.
