Newmoved: Airlines Iran Air has signed an agreement to purchase 80 passenger aircraft
company aircraft manufacturing giant from the United States (US), Boeing.
Iranian news agency IRNA reported that the 10-year agreement includes the purchase of 50 Boeing 737 and 30 Boeing 777. This is the largest deal ever existed between Tehran-Washington since the Islamic Revolution erupted in 1979.
IRNA quoted Fletcher Barkdull, Boeing regional director, said the deal was worth US $ 16.6 billion. As reported by the BBC, Sunday (11/12/2016) This agreement has been approved by Washington.
This agreement is a follow up to the signing of a memorandum of understanding between the two sides last June in which Boeing will help Iran modernize and expand the fleet of commercial aircraft they are already "aging".
The US government since last September has given permission for Boeing and rival Airbus to sell aircraft to Iran.

The move was made possible after the US and other major world powers agreed last year to lift sanctions against Iran following the signing of an agreement to limit the range of nuclear activities in the State Mullahs.
But Washington's policy toward Iran under the leadership of Donald Trump in the future is still a big question mark. US President-elect was repeatedly criticized the Obama administration over a nuclear deal with Iran.
Meanwhile, Congressional Republicans are also efforts to counter the agreements. Just last month, the House passed a bill designed to stop the sale of commercial aircraft to Iran,
If the bill is passed into law it would prevent the US Treasury to issue a permit to the US banks to finance commercial aircraft sales.
