FRANCE AND IRAN COZYING UP ECONOMICALLY now that sanctions are lifted.

France and Iran hailed a set of business tie-ups and export deals on Thursday including the sale of dozens of Airbus planes and a car factory revamp that re-ignites a decades-old relationship between Tehran and carmaker Peugeot.

The deals, some of which were not yet finalised, were announced at a Franco-Iranian business forum attended by Iranian President Hassan Rouhani and a host of ministers and business leaders.

The visit follows a deal between Iran and the west on the middle-eastern country’s nuclear program that resulted in the lifting earlier this month of trade sanctions.

Now that everybody is getting a taste of Iran’s oil money, those sanctions aren’t going to “snap back” no matter how flagrantly Iran violates the “treaty” which they never signed and which our Senate never ratified.
