New House Bill Could Complicate Boeing, Airbus Sales to Iran
Rep. Roskam introduces legislation in new Congress to prevent Iran from using commercial airliners for military or other 'illicit' purposes.

A Republican congressman has introduced legislation in the new U.S. Congress that could complicate Boeing and Airbus sales to Iran Air, made possible by a multinational nuclear agreement signed in July 2015. The action came on the heels of Airbus’s first new airliner delivery to state-owned Iran Air two days earlier.
