Boeing Confirms Iran Deal, Pending U.S. Government Blessing
Boeing's long-anticipated deal to sell 100 or more aircraft to Iran Air, are subject to U.S. government approval and confirmation of export credit support.

Boeing on Tuesday confirmed the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MOA) with state-controlled Iran Air for an unspecified number of new airliners. In a written statement, the U.S. airframer gave no details about the provisional deal, which had been announced earlier the same day by Iran’s transport minister Abbas Akhoundi speaking on Iranian television. Iran Air has previously indicated that it wants to refresh its aging fleet with a mix of approximately 100 new 737s, 777s and 787s.
