LAWMAKERS WARN BOEING THAT THEIR NEW CUSTOMERS IN IRAN COULD USE AIRLINERS FOR TERROR:

“Companies doing business with Iran should keep in mind the enormous risk to the American people and our allies,” [Dave Reichert, Washington State Republican congressman warns Boeing.]

A GOP lawmaker in the state where Boeing is headquartered, along with the chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, asked Muilenburg in a letter last week how the company can even ensure that its planes will not be used to further terrorist activity.

“Iran’s commercial aviation sector is deeply involved in supporting hostile actors,” Reps. Pete Roskam (R-Ill.) and Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas) wrote. “The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) systematically uses commercial aircraft to transport troops, weapons, military-related parts, rockets, and missiles to hostile actors around the world, including, but not limited to, Hezbollah, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Houthi Rebels in Yemen, and the Bashar Al-Assad Regime in Syria.”

“These terrorist groups and rogue regimes have American blood on their hands. Your potential customers do as well.”

IranAir, they noted, was “quietly deleted” from the Treasury Department’s sanctions list “in what was widely viewed as a diplomatic concession to Iran.”

Roskam and Hensarling asked Boeing to answer a number of questions about the dealmaking process and the agreement by July 1.
