| [Rooters] Iran plans to buy as many as 90 planes per year from Boeing (BA.N) and Airbus (AIR.PA) to revamp its antiquated fleet once Western sanctions are lifted, its state news agency IRNA quoted a senior aviation official as saying on Sunday. "Iran will buy a total of 80-90 planes per year from the two aviation giants in the first phase of renovating its air fleet," said Mohammad Khodakarami, the caretaker director of Iran's Civil Aviation Organization, according to IRNA. Last month's nuclear deal between Tehran and world powers has raised the prospect of banking and trade sanctions on Iran being lifted, perhaps around the end of this year, which would mean a chance to renew a fleet of commercial aircraft whose average age of 23 years is almost twice the international average. |

| #5 It'd be ironic if Northrup Grumman planes end up being sent to unwind the deal(s). |

| #4 ...If that's indeed true, that will be the final stake through any chance of stopping this deal. Boeing will stop at nothing to get the deal. (Grateful that Boeing provides so many jobs here in SC, but they've gone rogue.) Mike |

| #1 Ye ole kickback. How much did they promise the Obama family foundation (a charitable organization that will be founded and based in Chicago after Obama leaves office). |
