webfact Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Rouhani orders Iran’s government to review resuming direct flights to USTEHRAN, October 1. (ITAR-TASS). Iran’s President Hassan Rouhani ordered the government to review the possibility of resuming direct flights between Iran and the United States. This was reported on Tuesday by Mehr news agency.The news agency quoted advisor to the Iranian president Akbar Torkan as saying that the establishing of direct flights between Tehran and New York would allow "easing the problems of Iranians living in the United States and to visit relatives in Iran from time to time".At present, the United States is home to about a million immigrants from Iran. Flights between the two countries were interrupted shortly after the victory of the Islamic Revolution in Iran in 1979.Source: http://www.itar-tass.com/c154/897001.html-- ITAR-TASS 2013-10-01 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

folium Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 Let's hope there is no rerun of the Vincennes 1988 Iran Air "blunder" that led to almost 300 civilian deaths and probably the subsequent Lockerbie bombing..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverSure Posted October 1, 2013 Share Posted October 1, 2013 It's not so much having direct bombs flights from Iran. It's the cost of having a couple of fighter jets escort them in and out each time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted October 5, 2013 Share Posted October 5, 2013 The supreme leader of Iran, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, has endorsed overtures to the US made last month by President Hassan Rouhani in New York. "We support the diplomatic initiative of the government and attach importance to its activities in this trip," he said on his website. But he added that some of what had occurred "was not appropriate". http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-middle-east-24410422 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicog Posted October 7, 2013 Share Posted October 7, 2013 It would seem not everyone trusts Iran's new found friendliness.... The head of Iran’s cyber warfare programme has been shot dead, triggering further accusations that outside powers are carrying out targeted assassinations of key figures in the country’s security apparatus. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/10350285/Iranian-cyber-warfare-commander-shot-dead-in-suspected-assassination.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
