US: New House bill could complicate Boeing, Airbus Sales to Iran
A Republican congressman has introduced legislation in the new US 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 Iran Air 2 days earlier. Rep. Peter Roskam introduced H.R. 566 Jan 13. It calls for the incoming Trump administration to report on Iran’s use of commercial aircraft and related services for “illicit military or other activities.” The bill was referred to the House Committee on Foreign Affairs. In the previous, 114th Congress, Roskam introduced legislation to prohibit the US Export-Import Bank from providing financing that would benefit Iran. <br/>
