TEHRAN, May 9 - Boeing said Tuesday it will follow US government policy on sales to Iran after Trump announced the US would withdraw from the Iran nuclear deal.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) – "Following today's announcement, we will consult with the US government on next steps," said Gordon Johndroe, a vice president of government operations communications, "As we have throughout this process, we'll continue to follow the US government's lead."
The statement was released by the aerospace giant shortly after Trump's withdrawal of 2015 agreement known as Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).
After lengthy negotiations and tight oversight by the Obama administration, Boeing in December 2016 announced a landmark agreement to sell Iran Air 80 aircraft valued at $16.6 billion.
Boeing also had announced a contract in April 2017 to sell Iran Aseman Airlines 30 Boeing 737 MAX aircraft for $3 billion, with purchase rights for another 30 aircraft. Deliveries were to begin in 2022.
The International Atomic Energy Agency has been monitoring Iran’s compliance with its commitments under the JCPOA and has consistently verified the Islamic Republic’s compliance.
The Islamic Republic has always insisted that its atomic program is merely for peaceful purposes and that the West is using the nuclear case as a pretext to put pressure on Tehran.
