The original factory, built by the US Textron company, was to produce Bell 214s of different configurations in Iran with a deal that involved several hundred helicopters and technology transfers. Reportedly, the contract was so large that a new Textron division had to be founded to meet Iranian demands and handle the program with Delk M. Oden as president. The work ended due to the Iranian Revolution and subsequent sanctions against Iran.
Iran Watch has a helpful compendium of sanctions.[4] HESA has been subject to American sanctions since 2008.[5] The Council of the European Union sanctioned it on 26 July 2010,[6] and HM Treasury on 27 July 2010.[7] On 30 January 2023, the European Union imposed additional sanctions on HESA for providing Russia with UAVs used in the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[8][9]
