google translate :
With this new contract, ATR is no longer very far from the cap of 100 sales and the year 2017 is not over. The six ATR 72-600s of Mandarin Airlines are in addition to the 89 sales made between January 1 and June 22, 2017. In addition to the first sales of ATR 42-600 in China (13 copies distributed between Tianju Investment and Xuzhou Hantong ), ATR has registered the order of the 20 ATR 72-600s by Iran Air (four have already been delivered) and that of IndiGo for 50 units. The new Air Senegal took two ATR 72-600s while two historic customers, Air Tahiti and the Swedish BRA, each took an extra copy. Finally, an ATR 42-600 has been sold to a customer for now unidentified.

Not sure that ATR will see the 2014 sales peak in 2017 (160 firm sales), but one thing is certain: the order backlog is starting to recover with three years of production after two years of slowing sales (76 in 2015 And 36 in 2016).

well Aseman is considering ATR 72-600 as well.and chances are good that IranAir will order more.

I think they estimated Iran needs about 550 jets . if we go by that number we need about 200-300 regional jets and turbofan airplanes .
with this number of airplanes its completely economical to invest for building just half of that !or just co-op producing them with China or Russia . again american policy makers shown they are smarter than us all
and its funny ATR delivered more and faster than Airbus or Boeing . ( compare to size of their deal )
