Iran says planes ready for US flights

[rmi5]

Iran air's 747 fleet, Mahan's 747s and a-340s and Aseman's 340s are able to fly this route.

As I remember, when the talks during AhmadiNejad became more serious, Delta Airlines(I think it is also the biggest airline of the world), was supposed to fly the Tehran-NewYork route, but nothing was finalized.

 

[bdslph]

more mullah to USA hehheehe

well it is good destination to USA

 

[jammersat]

haha , our 747 fleet are gonna need some serious reparations if they are to fly to new york and then back to tehran

 

[Hack-Hook]

haha , our 747 fleet are gonna need some serious reparations if they are to fly to new york and then back to tehran

I doubt our 747-100 fleet even have the range for direct flight to new york .

 

[jammersat]

I doubt our 747-100 fleet even have the range for direct flight to new york .

There are some 747s the Saha airliner possesses , they seem long enough to fly straight to new york , they just need a paint job

 

[Indika]

Good, please add a connecting flight from india please. It can give good competition/alternative to dubai and also get good chance for indians to visit iran . Adding connecting flights will also be economical as you can not only get tourists like they do in singapore but also be ensured of occupancy from indians traveling to US.

Bro , call me whatever you like , but i oppose any diplomatic relations with US at any level . i frankly don't give a shyte what ahmadinejad or any other nut job here and there says .

i try to say what needs to be said . i am not osool gara nor i've got anything to do with eslah talabs either (you should really understand that from my political stances here ) .

but hey , i cannot watch the congress show (they captured a comedy show yesterday starring john kerry) and even think about having anything to do with those low lives .

they are low lives and thats a fact .

and here is a quote from the OP :

"Khodakarami has been quoted by the domestic media as saying that launching a direct flight to the US requires obtaining the necessary “diplomatic authorizations” from the related organizations. "


I mean F them all .

thats what i mean mate . you may think this is a crude comment , but it's not . i invite you to watch yesterday's comedy show at congress .

did you know a gathering of baboons is called a congress ?

your problem or in other words our problem is that , we have have been played for almost four mother fucking decades by some fucker politicians who don't exactly know what the **** they want in first place .

Some people here and in society + the politicians are dying in joy of lifting sanctions and re establishing ties with the west and none of them have asked themselves why all this shit happened in first place !

Not a God damn person here gave me an answer about the reason of the revolution and the heavy price Iranians have paid for decades .

They're now happy for what they could have before the revolution without any cost and this hurts me the most as I can't imagine any higher level of stupidity in the world .

Some are happy for having a better economy and maybe industry .

Some are proud for having the BS nuclear energy , probably think they brought US to knees like typical bastard reformist party members .

Some have experienced countless orgasms for the possibility of buying Russian , Chinese and maybe western equipments .

some are happy for getting their hands on western made , high quality products .

And so on ...

But all of what I mentioned were either given or were going to be given to Iran before 1979 , 8 years of devastating war , decades of being sanctioned to death , being insulted by bunch of pimps around the world and above all loss of several hundred thousands of Iranians .

I don't get the logic , someone should help me to get what make people happy these days !

I am not fan of Islamic Republic or shah era but I want you don't black-face my great country.

At time of shah we were self sufficiency in vegetable oil, now we are one of top 5 in all fields of sciences. It is better not even compare them.

The war was by saddam Not Iran.
The sanctions are by US in particular US intensified them in 2011 in shytpool congress.

I believe that you're hot headed right now , like any other newcomer in this forum .

I did not insult the country but said the truth .

Moreover at time of shah only some cities of Iran like Tehran were partly thrived, but after revolution billions second/men works are done to thrive all cities and places of Iran. We did not have this huge impetus to thrive Iran at time of shah at all. Also at time of shah we were 30 millions but now we are 80 millions.
I can't agree that we accuse Islamic Republic for every bad event in this country. Iran have had good times at time of khatami and most time of Ahmadinejad.

quote from Wikipedia "The airline has not been active since 2013 although it still exist" all of the fleets are older then 30 years which is very dangerous to fly with them.

I think the point that you are missing is exactly what you pointed out at the beginning of your comment. Where do we want to be in future? Me and you may not know but I think the current Iran Government (and even the one that was ousted), have and had a very good idea about what they want to be.

The path Iran was going 4 decades ago would take us to where South Korea is today (although I doubt our petroleum income would allow that) . A respectable country, with strong economy and welfare for their people. Everything about that is great but one thing: They have gained all these but lost one very important thing: Their free will in world affairs. Can you imagine one instance where US decides to do something and South Korea doesn't follow? Now you may say that it is because their interests align but I don't agree. There is no way that two country's interests (one from west and one from east) always align.

South Korea has become a wealthy audience in the worlds affairs (like Switzerland, Belgium,...). There is nothing wrong with that but it is not to Iranians' taste. Our experience during 17s, 18s, and 19s shows that being a passive player minding your own business doesn't end very well in this region. Others will ignore your sovereign, tear your territory apart, steal your wealth and etc. Iran wants a bigger share of the world income AND political affairs. And that doesn't sit well with the other big players because unlike world GDP, the political chess board is limited. More power for a player means less for the rest.

Iran's current path is that of USA's 18th century and China's 19th century. They went through everything that Iran is going through today. There will be bumps, there will be hardships. But if it survive, it will prevail as an independent world grade power that has its own say on world affairs. I'm sure there were US citizens back in the early days of their revolution that thought: All of this hardship for what? Independence my .....!

So in a nutshell, here is what makes people happy these days: All that which were supposed to be given to us 4 decades ago + maintaining our own free will in world affairs. Me and you may not enjoy the benefits of the second portion in our lifetime. But the future generations will.

You should read the opinion of those against the deal in west to understand. Here is a very good one if you are interested:

I wish we did 1/10th of what we did for cities we did for villages. Right now the villages are becoming empty at a dangerous rate.

Lots of Iranian professors there in US varsities (mostly in pure science).

Iran Nuclear Agreement: Danger Ahead | National Review Online

Excellent post sir.

Iran is one of the truly independent countries in the world.

I would argue that countries like South Korea would be rich anyway (same way my own city Hong Kong or cities like Shanghai/Beijing became advanced)... but.... South Korea is basically occupied by American troops.

Japan has their entire constitution written by Americans, which bars them from even having an army (they have "defence forces") and prevents them from modifying their own constitution with unnaturally high barriers, put in intentionally by the Americans who wrote it. It was meant to neuter them.

Now American troops run amok in Japan and South Korea, and commit crimes against the local populations (I'm sure you've seen the news regarding assaults against women) with very few consequences.

Now let's say America suddenly has a problem with Russia. Here is what happens:

Japan Announces New Russia Sanctions - Wall Street Journal

Even though Japan wanted to get closer to Russia before, they had no choice. America ordered it and that's the end of the story.

It's sad, because Japan could have EASILY become a great power in their own right, just like Iran can. Iran chose the independent road, which is why America is so afraid of them.
