Boeing appears to have fallen victim to the US administration’s decision to tear up the Iran peace deal. It seems the Tehran government is gearing up to sue the US aircraft manufacturer for cancelling several pending contracts with Iranian carriers. CH Aviation reports that legal action will be pursued through international tribunals. Boeing’s decision was effectively taken out of its hands after US treasury secretary Steven Mnuchin ordered sales of commercial aircraft to Iran to cease by August.
