Just part of the deal… tit for tat; quid pro quo … I wonder when the pistachio nuts will show up at the grocery store…

    There is nothing about powering the plans with anything nuclear. Misleading.

      That is why the phrase is in "quotes." The pun is on the fact that the purchase of the planes is powered by the deal over their nuclear power program. That also was why I asked, rhetorically, about the pistachio nuts, an export from Iran.

    Sure. No surprise there. They are currently flying old Russian rust buckets. Most sovereign nations that have airlines actually have them run/owned by the government, at least partially. They need airplanes that will stay in the air. I don't see this as a big deal.
