“The release of these photographs allegedly showing Iran Air’s illegal activity comes as top U.S. air carrier manufacturer Boeing moves forward with a multi-billion dollar deal to sell Iran Air a new modern fleet.”
If the Trump administration still has the will to do something about the disastrous Iran nuclear deal, which is by no means clear, there are powerful moneyed interests determined to make sure it is not able to act.
“Iran Caught Shipping Soldiers to Syria on Commercial Flights in Violation of Nuclear Deal,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 23, 2017:
New photographs obtained by congressional leaders show Iran shipping militant soldiers to Syria on commercial airline flights, a move that violates the landmark nuclear agreement and has sparked calls from U.S. lawmakers for a formal investigation by the Trump administration, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.
Photographs published by a Washington, D.C., think-tank and provided to Congress show Iran using its flagship commercial carrier, Iran Air, to ferry militants to Syria, where they have joined the fight against U.S. forces in the region.
The new photographic evidence has roiled congressional leaders, who accuse Iran of violating the nuclear deal, which prohibits it from using commercial air carriers for military purposes. These lawmakers are demanding the Trump administration investigate the matter and consider imposing new sanctions on Iran.
The release of these photographs allegedly showing Iran Air’s illegal activity comes as top U.S. air carrier manufacturer Boeing moves forward with a multi-billion dollar deal to sell Iran Air a new modern fleet. Many in Congress have opposed the deal due to Iran’s longstanding use of commercial aircraft for military purposes, such as transporting weapons and troops to regional hotspots such as Syria and elsewhere. It remains unclear the extent to which the former Obama administration was aware of this activity, which came in part while it was promoting Western airline sales to Tehran….

“Truth” is neither a virtue of Islam or The Left. Lies, sexual perversion, violence and a lust for wealth and power is.

With this Obama /’Kerry “peace deal” which resulted on much money entering this “Mullah regime ” of Iran it’s not only obvious that those Muslims in power in this Islamic tyrannical regime will not keep their promises about not striving to obtain nuclear weapons but much on the many that now comes into this Islamic tyranny now fund Muslims jihad stooge entities of Iran such as the Hezbollah and Hamas which murder Israeli citizens . Likewise funds and weapon from Iran new financial resources now even to the Taliban .This is a way is rather strange since the Taliban is compose of Sunni Muslim and Iran is Shiite Muslim and the members of both branches of Islam hate each other. This may be explain by the simplistic way of thinking the they must have, of the idea that “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.”
Therefore Iran supplies the Taliban be cause the Taliban try to and sometimes do kill America troops. For the mullahs and ayatollahs of Iran hate Americans with a passion and want the American people to die. Likewise those same Muslim clerics hate the United States of America and wish her destroyed. Many time those ayatollahs and mullahs get the Iranian people all worked up into chanting ,again and again, “Death tho America ” and the mullahs and others in power in Iran keep calling the USA “The great Satan and the State of Israel “The little Satan.”
What total fools Obama Kerry were that they actually had the feeling some kind of worthwhile deal of value could be made with those mullahs and other fiendish Muslims who have such awful and complete power in Iran.

Obama and Kerry are together Muslim and enabler of Jihad both hate the Constitutional Republic of the USA. They were not fools, they financed terror knowingly, deliberately and with criminal intent the $150 Billion plus extra to Iran well knowing it would go to finance terror around the world. Their backgrounds place them with those who have had close ties with the MB for 50 years that I know of.
Maybe some Victim Nation will someday place a bounty upon their heads.

In Syria, tens of thousands of jihadist mercenaries arrived from every corner of the world including from the USA, UK and all EU countries and from the muslim world. They were transported and in many cases funded to travel and fight the legitimate Syrian government demonized by the world powers. Iran is hugely justified to send shiite fighters to Syria to protect the shiites and other minorities from isis and other jihadists.

But from this post, iram (sic) violated the obummer/ scary kerry treaty. Couldn’t iram find another way to send their little jihadis to syria, other than commercial flights? This is the islamic heart of the post. Not that iram is sending the abdullas ( slaves of allah) to syria, those that are seeking martydom (sic), but sending jihadis on commercial flights, come on, was the flight all allah (1st) class? Treaty Natalie, treaty, treaty, treaty.

Natalie, I’m afraid your idea that Iran is opposed to Jihad is quite mistaken. They may attack their Jihadist rivals–especially Sunnis–but they are as oppressive of Infidels as are most Sunnis. Your idea that the purpose of Shi’ites is to defend religious minorities is not accurate.

The only nuclear deal made with Iran was funding
moeped says
The world’s gone mad when you can’t even trust Iran and the ayatollah of rock n ‘rolla. What’s this world coming to??
The reason is obviously islamaphobia and voodoo to boot. Oh yeah colonialism also. Not the ideology, nope.

Eventually Iran will go to War with the U.S. and be crushed. Not if. When.

I’m sure this is a case of mistaken identity. Iran a founding member of the OIC, I’m sure is using the OIC & UN for vetting Syrian Muslim Refugees & other Muslim Migrants from Libya, Syria and Iran. The same two entities (OIC & UN) vetting for rest of the Non-Muslim world, including United States. Obama & Kerry cut such a great deal with Iran, why would Iran risk violating such a sweet deal? My goodness their credibility, honor & reputation is on the line. (LOL)
