Venezuela–Iran ghost flights

The Venezuela–Iran ghost flights are clandestine and irregular flight routes from Venezuela to Iran and back. Some flights would pass through Syria and Paraguay. These flights, known as "aeroterror", were closed to the public and operated by sanctioned airlines such as Conviasa, Emtrasur Cargo, and Mahan Air. Due to their alleged role in facilitating the transport of weapons, gold, sanctioned cargo, and personnel linked to Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) and Hezbollah, these flights raised international concern.
