geeezzzuuus!!! Can republicans ever stop attacking American businesses for their political gains. And not for nothing I remember conservatives praising Reagan for selling missiles to Iran to fund terrorism. You just cant make this stuff up.
The international agreement to curb Iran's nuclear program made such sales possible by easing sanctions on Tehran, but some members of the U.S. Congress who oppose it want to block proposed sales of some 200 jetliners, worth about $50 billion at list prices, to renew Iran Air's aging fleet.
While the lawmakers oppose any action that could boost the Tehran government, they also argue that Iran could use passenger aircraft for military purposes such as transporting fighters to battle U.S. troops or allies in Syria or elsewhere.

can missiles be used for military purposes?
