Evidently the GOP still doesn't agree with the deal signed by 5 countries, they need to make sure Boeing takes a hit. This is not very productive as now maybe Iran goes to Japan or elsewhere to purchase the jets.

Quote:
Agreements for Iran to buy more than 200 jetliners from Boeing and Airbus, the most prominent commercial outcomes of the nuclear accord reached a year ago, face delays that could reduce or even unravel them, aviation lawyers and analysts said.

Legislation passed by the House of Representatives on July 7 would essentially block the multibillion-dollar agreements with Boeing and Airbus, despite provisions in the nuclear accord that allowed for such deals. While President Obama is expected to veto that legislation, it has pushed back the clock for the airplane deliveries, much to the annoyance of Iranian officials.

Why the hell does Iran need 200 jet liners? They expecting an upswing in tourism?

Actually yes, tourism would be a tremendous positive and would disarm the Iranian hard liners.


Around 1/3 of their fleet is aging and out of service, what's the downside.

The GOP is committed to destroying this country, one bit of legislation at a time. Today Boeing, tomorrow could be anyone (other than Oil and Gas, of course)

I thought the GOP was supposed to be the best party for creating jobs?

Yeah. They'll use hard earned money on Boeings to fly into buildings. Right. Makes great sense.

Satisfying Netanyahu and AIPAC is more important than jobs.
