Iran deal allows for sales of passenger planes

The spokesman of the US State Department says Iran’s historic nuclear agreement with the permanent UN Security Council members plus Germany (P5+1) allows Western jet manufacturers to trade with Tehran.

John Kirby said Tuesday that the deal included a statement that “allowed for a case-by-case licensing of individuals and entities seeking to export, re-export, sell, lease or transfer to Iran commercial passenger aircraft … exclusively for commercial passenger aviation.”
