Kabiri’s statement arrived two days after Boeing stated it would not fulfill a lucrative multi-billion-dollar contract to sell jets to the national carrier Iran Air, given the fact that it
no longer has a license to trade with Iran. "From the very beginning, we should have got a strong guarantee from the aircraft manufacturer so that they would not be able to easily
violate their contracts," Kabiri said. However, he went on to state that the actions would bear no effect on Iran, adding, "They [the US] cannot harm us in this way."
Earlier in May, the US Treasury said that Airbus and Boeing would no longer be licensed to sell to the Persian Gulf state, thus dooming the 2016 and 2017 contracts with Iran, worth roughly
$39 billion in total, which oversee the delivery of 110 Boeing passenger jets and 100 Airbus planes to the country.
