IMHO this livery was the best:
Small titles, grey belly, Lufthansa style. Much better than the A330 screaming "IRAN AAAIRRR!!!"

I didn't like it either, but it's starting to grow on me. As for Boeing - American workers should not be the victim of political agenda's and Iranians shouldn't be either.
I hope the deal goes through - but I highly doubt it. I'm quite sure that Airbus is really happy now!

Don't forget that a good portion of the components on Airbus equipment are American made; also, don't forget that relations between the U.S. and Iran are not now, nor have they been since 1979, anything resembling "normal". Iran calls the U.S. the "Great Satan," so I wouldn't expect much cooperation in return from the U.S., whether it is the Trump administration of anybody else.

As long as sharia laws prevail, no chance in hell they can. IR used to be a world class career back in the 70s. Also, its not just about IR, as in fleet, but also building up a modern infrastructure of airports is something that Iran lags behind at this point. I am sure things in Iran will change for the better and then yes, I can see an IR (and other potential Iranian carriers) to be world class again competing with the best of the best. We are talking about a huge country and population with tremendous potentials....

Exactly what I was thinking! Try IR A332 instead of Air AsiaX -They will be used on the KUL-IKA route.

Oh really? Then I shall try IR then! Thank you for the heads up! Can't wait to see Iran in person!

Inside the plane people are free to dress how they want. The main difference between EK, EY, QR and IR would be that IR won't serve you alcohol. If tickets are competitive and you have less flying hours - IR could be a good choice.
Also remember that IR can easily transfer 40-50M passengers a year considering the domestic & international demand to and from Iran/ That's already more than half of EK . - These numbers are without transiting passengers.
Here is a recent pictures of developments at IKA

How is that any different than what Saudia already does?
