Dutch airline KLM announced Monday that it will halt ‎flights to Tehran "as a result of the negative ‎results and financial outlook" following the U.S. ‎withdrawal from the Iranian nuclear accord.‎

The airline, part of the Air France-KLM group, made ‎the announcement in a short statement on its ‎website.‎

‎"As a result of the negative results and financial ‎outlook for the Tehran operation, the last flight ‎will take off from Amsterdam on 22 September 2018 ‎and land at Schiphol on 23 September," the company said. ‎

The Dutch carrier suspended its flights to Tehran in ‎‎2013, resuming them in 2016 after the nuclear deal ‎between Tehran and major world powers was signed. ‎

Under the deal, Iran suspended its sensitive nuclear ‎activities in exchange for sanctions relief.‎

U.S. President Donald Trump pulled out of the accord ‎on May 8, saying the U.S. plans to reimpose tough ‎sanctions against Iran.‎

Air France, which resumed flights to Tehran in 2016 ‎after an eight-year absence, said it will continue ‎its flights to Iran. ‎

Also on Monday, the U.S. Treasury Department said it ‎had sanctioned a Malaysia-based sales agent for ‎Mahan Air, an Iranian airline already under U.S. ‎sanctions in connection with Iran's alleged support ‎for international terrorism.‎

‎"As a result of today's action, all property and ‎interests in property of Mahan Travel and Tourism ‎Sdn Bhd that are or come within U.S. jurisdiction ‎are blocked," the department said in a statement. ‎
