Commerce and State Department Approve Sales to Iran (Axis of Evil)
So much for sanctions against a charter member of the Axis of Evil:
US Due to Overhaul Iranian Planes
01-01-2007
TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- The shortage of spare parts beleaguering the Iranian aviation industry may soon be improved through a breakthrough deal with the United States.
In October, the US Commerce and State departments approved a temporary suspension of the US-led embargo that has impeded Iran’s access to American and Western aircraft parts.
The deal will allow the servicing and supplying of parts to American-made engines on a limited number of Iran Air jets produced by Airbus.
The recommendation, now under consideration by the US Department of Treasury, was made after American aviation officials warned the engines were in need of immediate overhaul.
Is this Administration serious?
I am sure there were compelling reasons………..
Never mind………..
