Re: Congress tries to block Boeing/Iran deal

Does the average Iranian citizen, or anyone else flying to or from Iran for whatever reason, not deserve to fly on a safe airplane? Other countries on the 'threat list' still get access to both Boeing and Airbus planes which are hardly weapon platforms. He deserves, imho. That does not mean he is e...

Honestly, Turkey was never part of the Arab coalition that waged war on Israel. So the two countries were never enemies, unlike KSA or Iran. 1st. Iran is not Arab 2nd. Iran & Israel were very close allies until 1979. Iran was one of the first countries to officially recognize Israel back in the...
