GOP lawmakers warn Boeing: Don't sell planes to Iran

Three Illinois Republicans are urging Boeing not to sell airplanes to Iran, and warned the Chicago-based aerospace company this week that such deals would facilitate state-sponsored terrorism.

“This is not about doing what is legal — it is about doing what is right,” Reps. Peter Roskam, Randy Hultgren and Robert Dold wrote in a Monday missive. “The Islamic Republic is not simply an emerging market for Boeing. It is a radical Islamic regime dominated by zealots who seek nothing less than the destruction of the United States and the shared democratic principles of the Western world.”
