In browsing through various news papers of the world. I come across some strange news. The most unexpected is what I have been finding in the Iranian Newspapers. I would like to keep this as a thread for discussing these stories and similar stories other members may find.

Here is the first story:

Payvand's Iran News ...


1/5/07
U.S. officially agrees to overhaul 6 Iranian Airbus
TEHRAN, Jan. 05 (ISNA)-Iran's airliner organization chief gave news that the U.S. has officially agreed to overhaul 6 of Iran's Airbus aircrafts.

"The official procedures of overhauling 6 Iranian Airbus aircrafts has been finalized by U.S. and Iran's related officials and currently we are searching for a third party country so to execute the required major repairs," said Rohollah Rezaie Niaraki while noting that the selected country would most probably be in Europe.

The to be overhauled A-310 Airbus aircrafts were brought 2 years ago from Turkey and were not able to serve in Iran's air fleet for more than 6 months due to existent repair limitations.

Weird. Is this "US" or a "US company?"
What happened to tough talk & sanctions?

US company, but business dealings with Iran have to be Government approved by both the US and Iran

Next surprise, also from Iran:

Facts and truth, Iraq and Iran - One outcome of the American invasion is that it has generated a much more uncompromising "fundamentalist" politico-ideological constellation in Iraq. This has led to a predominance of the pro-Iranian political forces there — the intervention basically delivered Iraq to Iranian influence. One can imagine how, if President George W. Bush were to be court-martialed by a Stalinist judge, he would be instantly condemned as an "Iranian agent." -IHT 1/6/07
