伊朗與波音簽署購買客機的初步協議

U.S. aerospace giant Boeing has signed a tentative deal to sell passenger jets to Iran, in what would be the biggest business deal between the U.S. and Iran in 37 years.

The transaction would be worth as much as $25 billion, with Iran buying at least 100 commercial jets for its state-owned airline.

With most economic sanctions against Iran lifted after it signed the recent nuclear deal, Iran Air is ready to expand its fleet. It already has made a pending deal with the European consortium Airbus for passenger planes.

Boeing says the Obama administration approved its initial deal with Iran after determining that Tehran is meeting its obligations under the nuclear agreement.

"Boeing will continue to follow the lead of the U.S. government with regards to working with Iran's airlines, and any and all contracts with Iran's airlines will be contingent upon U.S. government approval," a company statement said Tuesday.美國飛機制造業巨頭波音公司與伊朗簽署一項出售客機的初步協議，這將是美國和伊朗之間37年來的最大一筆交易。

這筆交易價值高達250億美元，伊朗將爲其國營航空公司購買至少100架商用噴氣客機。

伊朗最近簽署了核協議之後，針對伊朗的絕大部分經濟制裁已經取消，伊朗航空公司準備擴大機隊。該航空公司已經與歐洲聯合企業空中客車飛機公司簽署了購買客機的協議。

波音公司表示，奧巴馬政府確認伊朗正在履行核協議義務後，批准了與伊朗的初步協議。

波音公司星期二的一份聲明說，“波音公司在與伊朗航空公司合作過程中，將繼續服從美國政府的領導。與伊朗航空公司達成的任何和所有合同都將有待美國政府的批准。”
