Treason is giving aid and comfort to the enemy. Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps has repeatedly vowed to destroy America and Israel, our foremost ally in the Middle East. So how is this not treason? All such deals should be stopped immediately.
“Boeing Trying to Sell Planes to Leading Official of Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, April 12, 2017:
Story continues below advertisement
U.S airline manufacturer Boeing is coming under renewed criticism following disclosures that its latest deal with Iran is being inked with a senior regime official and leading member of the country’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, which has sponsored terrorism across the Middle East and is responsible for helping to kill U.S. soldiers.
Boeing’s latest deal—which the Washington Free Beacon first reported last week has been put under a critical review by the Trump administration—is being inked with Iran Aseman Airlines, which is owned and controlled by the state. The CEO of Aseman Airlines is Hossein Alaei, a “prominent and longtime member of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps,” or IRGC, according to several members of Congress who are petitioning the Trump administration to cancel the sales.
Sen. Marco Rubio (R., Fla.) and Rep. Peter Roskam (R., Ill.) expressed concern that Boeing’s sale of around 60 new planes to Aseman Airlines will bolster the IRGC’s global terrorism operation and help the Iranian regime transport weapons and troops to conflict areas such as Syria.
The lawmakers called on the Trump administration to immediately suspend licenses permitting these sales and conduct a review of Iran’s effort to use commercial aircraft for illicit activities.
“Iran, the world’s leading state sponsor of terrorism, has systematically used commercial aircraft for illicit military purposes, including to transport troops, weapons, and cash to rogue regimes and terrorist groups around the world,” the lawmakers wrote. “The possibility that U.S.-manufactured aircraft could be used as tools of terror is absolutely unacceptable and should not be condoned by the U.S. government.”
Rubio and Roskam asked the administration to “suspend current and future licenses for aircraft sales to commercial Iranian airlines until your administration conducts a comprehensive review of their role in supporting Iran’s illicit activity.”
Instead of granting Boeing a license for these sales, the United States should take immediate steps to “revoke authorizations and re-impose sanctions on Iranian airlines found guilty of such support, and should bar U.S. companies from selling aircraft to Iran until the Iranian regime ceases using commercial airliners for illicit military purposes,” according to the letter.
The latest information about Boeing’s deal with Aseman Airlines and IRGC leader Alaei has only heightened concerns about the danger of the Trump administration approving the sales.
Alaei served as commander of the IRGC Navy until 1990. During that time, Alaei oversaw the harassment of U.S. forces in the Persian Gulf and efforts by the IRGC Navy to plant mines in international waters….
“With his deep ties and service to the IRGC, Hossein Alaei’s position as CEO of Aseman therefore casts a dark shadow on the corporate ownership of and control over the airlines, and raises significant concerns that Iran Aseman Airlines is part of the IRGC’s economic empire and a tool used to support its malign activity abroad,” according to Rubio and Roskam.Boeing also is pursuing deals with Iran Air, the country’s flagship carrier, and Mahan Air. Both have been sanctioned by the United States.
These carriers have been accused of using “commercial aircraft to transport weapons, troops and other tools of war to rogue regimes like the Syrian dictatorship of Bashar al Assad, terrorist groups like Hezbollah, Hamas, and Islamic Jihad, and militant groups like the Houthi rebels in Yemen,” the lawmakers wrote….
“Iran’s commercial airlines have American blood on their hands,” they wrote.

The financial burden of maintain a fleet of commercial aircraft will not be easy, if iran gets them, it will hasten its financial ruin, plus make it easier to see what they are up to by watching aircraft movements.

If Iran can acquire planes (they are also acquiring planes that Turkish Airlines isn’t taking because of a recession in Turkey), they likely already have shell companies to evade sanctions to acquire parts, or they may just turn to Emirates for parts or buy un-airworthy planes for parts, as older Boeing 737s, 777s, and Airbus A320 family and A330 planes are being parted out.. Additionally, and more importantly with respect to the 777 program, it’s keeping production humming along (Boeing is having trouble finding customers for the current 777 before the next generation launches in 2020).

Boeing is Wall Street. Whatever profits, aids the bottom line and keeps the dividends coming, trumps all other considerations. No pun intended.

I agree with 99.99% of what Pam Gellar writes. This is the 0.01% I am inclined to disagree. Boeing builds airplanes, Aseman Airlines wants to buy Boeing airplanes, specifically the B737-8 Max short-medium haul airliner to the tune of $3bn. Boeing is responsible to its shareholders, not social media punditry. I don’t blame them for selling airliners to Iran, Russia, China…it’s their job. If US foreign policy dictates otherwise, it is up to the US Government to step in. Boeing is doing what it does best…make great airplanes that the whole world wants. It’s not like they are selling F18’s, B52’s to the Iranians. Su24’s are not made in the USA.

I wonder if a 737 has the payload capacity to carry a nuclear weapon? That would make more life exciting worldwide. Hopefully A$$man airlines will be flying to whatever city you happen to live in.

Instead of engaging in personal attacks why don’t you offer your strategic and tactical ideas for those 20+ types of aircraft. I suggest that a 737 would be the perfect conduit for such an attack. All the Iranians have to do is establish a pattern of business as usual, flying to various locales, and lulling everyone into a false sense of security, and then dropping it on them all at once. The possibilities are endless, but I suppose, so is your reservoir of venom.

And so is the depth of your paranoid stupidity.
“All the Iranians have to do is establish a pattern of business as usual, flying to various locales”…
It’s called an ‘airline’, that’s what airlines do. It’s also called a ‘schedule’, another thing that airlines do. You know that the Iranians have several airlines, many of which already use Boeing and Airbus aircraft ‘flying to various locales’ and establish(ing) a pattern of business’. Seriously, did you even read what you wrote before you posted it up?
Your same logic can be applied to the Russians and the Chinese, yet Air China, Aeroflot, Air Bridge Cargo, Dnepr and others fly with impunity over the United States, unlike Aseman Airlines. (Better start digging your bomb shelter now…don’t forget the tin foil)
I’m no fan of the Iranians, but if they want to buy American airliners, and IT IS legal for them to do so, then I’d rather them buy Boeing than Airbus, Antonov or Tupolev. It is not Boeing’s job to dictate American policy. It’s their job to build damn good airplanes and compete on the world stage, and show profit for their stockholders. If the government doesn’t like it, then they can stop it and all that money ($3bn+) will find it’s way to France/Germany or Russia, who will happily sell their airliners to the Iranian regime.

And every flight is a “dry run” for the big event, the same logic used by the 9/11 hijackers when they posed as innocent passengers for the purposes of scouting the airliner and the various other logistics to steel their nerves and rehearse for that fateful day. By the way, in which branch of the military did you serve and how much was spent in a combat zone?

As long as Boeing hides a pressurized canister in each aircraft they sell to foreign countries as insurance, just in case!

THE SIMPLE REALITY
– Is that these aircraft can be used for nukes.
– The hardest part of making workable nukes is making them small
– They have to fit into the bay of a bomber
– Or into the warhead of a missile
– Iran is known to be making missiles that can carry nukes
– But the missiles aren’t ready, and can’t reach the USA
– Little Boy (Hiroshima) was a simple gun-type nuke
– A canon blasts a piece of uranium 238 into another piece, and they go critical.
– The USA didn’t even test Little Boy before using it
– Iran was caught with the plans for a gun-type nuke
– A Boeing airliner could carry a gun-type nuke, un-miniaturized
– It could be a scheduled commercial airliner, routed to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
– Then “engine troubles” could “force” it to re-route to NY, (and boom).
– Here’s what ‘Little Boy’ would do to a major American city:

Hey, DR.
We have already seen the airliners used as weapons. Boeing is just adding to the iranian armory.

Yes, but they only kill those Muslim women and children that run out and intercept the missiles before they kill Hamas and Hezbollah fighters, that launch missiles from schools, hospitals and playgrounds, into Israel! Stupid Muslims.

If Israelis spent as much time and effort trying to actually behave morally as they do trying create the illusion that they behave morally, there would be peace. But that would end their scam to fleece American taxpayers for billions to fund a fight that they themselves provoked.

Did anyone ever give thought to the fact that the Iranians can also put prisoners in restraints in the non-pressurized cargo hold to clandestinely suffocate them instead of using a construction crane for a public hanging? Like the old TV commercial used to say, “No muss, no fuss, no bother”.

How many times must we say this?
Most big businesses in the USA are leftist.
* They support regulations to drive away their small competitors.
* They coddle non-English-speakers to do business with them.
* They buy companies that promote leftism (e.g., AT&T buying Time Warner, which owns CNN).
* They rush to do business in Communist countries (e.g., AT&T expanding cellular service to Cuba, which filters text messages for “dissident” words and phrases).

If Howard Hughes, had offered to sell aircraft to the Nazi’s, do you suppose he would have lived as long as he did? Yet the Feds. are the largest customer of the U.S. aircraft Mfg’s. Does TREASON ever enter the economic picture?
