Iran considers buying over 100 Boeing planes

2016-01-25

Iran is interested in buying over 100 aircraft from Boeing, deputy transport minister Asghar Fakhrieh Kashan told Reuters at Tehran's first major post-sanctions gathering of global business people.

Who sells the spare parts for the Tomcats these days?

Tehran has long said it will need to revamp an aging fleet, hit by a shortage of parts because of trade bans imposed by Washington and other Western countries. World powers last week lifted sanctions against the Islamic Republic in return for Tehran complying with a deal to curb its nuclear ambitions.

Next week Iran will tender an offer for the F-35, and Obama will express interest "for the jobs"...

#5 They may be producing more oil now, and they may be able to sell it on the open market now, but they're in the same boat as the rest of the oil world - selling more oil but making less money for it, so they crank open more wells to sell more oil so the price goes down and they make even less....

#4 Whatever you sell to Iran better get the money before delivery. The Russians got stiffed and went on a cash basis for reactors.
