Boeing has reached a deal with Iran to provide airplane parts, easing a three decade freeze in ties as part of a bigger package of sanctions relief. In a statement Boeing said in a regulatory filing, the deal sets out general terms and conditions for the "potential sale of certain goods and services related to the safety of flight." This is a the first acknowledged business between U.S. aerospace companies and Iran since the 1979 U.S. hostage crisis that led to sanctions that went even further with the decade long international dispute over the state's nuclear program.
