It's an obstacle to so many deals that make common sense in that region. The Shia-Sunni schism makes regional powers into enemies and there is no love lost across the Gulf.
As for that TK aircraft, how much belongs to Turkish? Buyer furnished equipment? The licence to export also needs redoing if Boeing sells it to IR. Extremely doubtful that it could all be pulled together in a couple of weeks. If Turkish was planning a factory gate sale to a lessor then that needs untangling as well.

Personally I think there's far too much politics to overcome for this to happen any time soon. Too many powerful heads in the political trough with their own personal agendas.
