Iran in the air: ‘Death to America’ on hold as Iran buys Boeings

[Sally]

Business is business, so "Death to America" has been put on hold (until probably when they get delivery of the planes). We should thank Iran for giving Americans jobs at the Boeing plant. The people in Everett, Washington, are probably ecstatic that the deal has gone through.


Iran in the air: ‘Death to America’ on hold as Iran buys Boeings

Iran this week announced its agreement to buy some 100 passenger aircraft from Boeing. The Iranian goal is to bring its aged — some would say, decrepit — commercial aviation fleet forward into the 21st century. Boeing’s goal is to sell American-built airplanes.

Production and sale by Boeing of a hundred aircraft will result in billions of dollars in income and profits and — more importantly, given the current state of the economy — the creation of many American jobs. Boeing has plants and related production units and offices in many states, starting with Washington and including California, Illinois, Missouri and Pennsylvania.

It is also important that Iran chose Boeing for this purchase. It had previously contracted for 118 new planes from the European consortium Airbus and could have simply increased that order. In fact, it would have been more efficient for it to have done so in terms of spare parts and maintenance, but, instead, it chose to buy American for the subsequent order.

Why, Little Man, I have been in that factory on a tour. The visitors look down and see the enormous main floor, and the noise is horrendous from all the men working below on the planes.. You can visit too if you ever have the nerve to leave your room. Buy a ticket to SeaTac, rent a car and drive up to Everett, which is about 25 miles north of Seattle. Make sure you don't miss going up on the Space Needle, and by all means have lunch at Arnie's in Mukilteo Try to get a seat by the window.

Iranians aren't stupid. I've been buying my vehicles from an Iranian auto salesman for the last 30 years. I love that guy.

Very nice from you. You can also visit Germany, there are very nice places everywhere. You should not miss the Deutsches Museum in Munich. A spiral staircase around a V2 leads you from floor to floor and each has another focal point, will be reopened in 2019.

Also, Zabadani in Syria is a popular tourist destination. You should wait until the army has cleared the area from the last terrorists, though.

Iran Air Has Suspected Links to North Korea’s Missile Program...

Iran’s Prospective Boeing Customer Has Suspected Links to North Korea’s Missile Program
July 14, 2016 – Iran Air, which wants to buy U.S.-made aircraft under a deal blessed by the Obama administration, has been sanctioned in the past for nefarious activity in the Middle East – but it has suspected links to North Korea’s illicit ballistic missile program as well.

Last week, the U.S. House of Representatives approved two measures aimed at blocking a multi-billion dollar deal to sell Boeing aircraft to Iran Air. Opponents of the sale point to way the Iranian regime has at times used commercial aircraft for malign purposes. The U.S. Treasury Department sanctioned Iran Air five years ago for allowing its planes to be used to ship supplies and weapons to Syria’s Assad regime and other beneficiaries of the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC). But the Iran nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), lifted the sanctions and paved the way for commercial aircraft sales. (The administration says non-nuclear sanctions remain in place under the JCPOA, but that the case of Iran Air was one of several “minor allowances.”) Congressional criticism up to now on Iran Air’s record has focused mostly on Tehran’s support for Assad and for Hezbollah terrorists in Lebanon.

But the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control, a non-profit non-proliferation foundation in Washington, recalls that the airline has also been accused of facilitating ballistic missile cooperation between Iran and North Korea. Missile collaboration between the two countries – both long targeted by U.N. sanctions – has been happening since at least the early 1990s. Experts from each country have been observed attending launches in the other, and weapons specialists believe Iranian ballistic missiles are probably variants of North Korean ones. At an Oct. 2010 military parade in Pyongyang, North Korea displayed a new warhead for its medium-range Nodong missile, which experts said looked very similar in design to the warhead of Iran’s Shahab-3, whose range threatens Israel, Saudi Arabia and U.S. forces in the Gulf. Seven months later, an expert panel appointed by the U.N. Security Council to oversee North Korean sanctions implementation compiled a report which cited the Oct. 2010 military parade, and raised concerns about cooperation that would violate multiple UNSC resolutions targeting North Korea.

That May 2011 report (5.2 MB) pointed a finger both at Iran Air and Pyongyang’s national carrier, Air Koryo. “Prohibited ballistic missile-related items are suspected to have been transferred between the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and the Islamic Republic of Iran on regular scheduled flights of Air Koryo and Iran Air, with trans-shipment through a neighboring third country,” it said. (The unnamed “neighboring third country” was reported by diplomats at the time to be China, which blocked the public release of the report. It was leaked to media organizations.) When it sanctioned Iran Air in June 2011, the Treasury Department also referred to the use of planes for transporting missiles, although without referencing North Korea: “Rockets or missiles have been transported via Iran Air passenger aircraft, and IRGC officers occasionally take control over Iran Air flights carrying special IRGC-related cargo,” it said.

Launches continue unabated
