BMI - Iranian sanctions

Hi all

A friend is about to fly from LHR to THR with BMI.

This reminded me of the stories in the media about US sanctions against companies which do business with the US and with Iran - hence the stories about how Iran Air used to have to refuel at Manston Airport rather than LHR (yes this has now stopped but that's not the point).

Then I looked at where BMI flies to apart from THR

Flight routes | Travel destinations | Fly bmi

and sure enough BMI also flies to the USA.

Question - how does BMI get away with flying to Iran when it also flies to the USA?
