Has U.S. Ever Allowed Sale of Aircraft to State-Sponsors of Terror?

The State Department on Tuesday welcomed Boeing’s announcement of a deal to sell aircraft to Iran, but spokesman John Kirby seemed uncomfortable at the suggestion this marked the first time a U.S. aircraft manufacturer has been given a license to sell planes to a state-sponsor of terrorism.

Still, he confirmed that he did not believe it had been done before.

Kirby said the deal constitutes the type of business activity allowed under the Iran nuclear deal, the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).

“I can tell you that the State Department welcomes Boeing’s announcement of this deal with Iran Air, which involves the type of permissible business activity envisioned in the JCPOA,” he said.

“We committed, as you know, to licensed sales of civil passenger aircraft and will continue to implement this and all of our JCPOA commitments,” Kirby said, adding that the deal provides an opportunity for U.S. and other aviation companies “to pursue legitimate commerce with Iran.”
