Philip Morris dying to sell in Iran, the world's largest untapped cigarette market

"Iran earns 5 trillion rials (about $180 million) from importing Marlboro cigarettes, Iran's deputy industry minister Mojtaba Khosrotaj said... Meanwhile, Iranian Minister of Industries, Mines and Trade Mohammad Reza Nematzadeh has defended decision of issuing license for imports of Marlboro cigarettes... The ministry has issued necessary licenses for importing and producing 12 billion Marlboro cigarettes, according to Iranian media outlets which has triggered objections by Iranian hardliner MPs calling the US firm a 'Zionist company.'"

Well, they aren't going to be able to say the cigarettes are tainted with pig's blood any more.

Iran plans to buy 80-90 Boeing, Airbus planes a year, post sanctions

How many billions is that deal worth?

The GOP base have been the lemmings for big business. No way big business is going to give up making a lots of money because toothless red necks don't want them too.

GOP masters support business with Iran. The ignorant base doesn't. Not yet. The propaganda hasn't been changed yet.

Did that help sweetheart? I didn't realize it was so complicated.
