I don't think that IRI

I don't think that IRI stability works this way.

If they want to expose a sanction, they will have to announce a comprehensive sanction.  Not one by one.  Baby step in sanctioning Iran only hurts Iranians and strengths IRI.  They have to make IRI totally disfuntion by one-time and multidimensionality sanctions.

The way that US works only lets IRI take time, find a solution and stand a sanction one by one.

Sigh...

This will mostly affect the iranian passengers in the long term...

Drain the trough of IRI's oil money

And you will have fewer pigs sticking their noses into that trough. Which also means that there will be fewer IRI Groupies living in North America and Europe to come on Iranian.com and post the IRI's garbage propaganda. 

rostam and ruzbeh,. the point is stupid!

how does this sanction stop shipment to syria? so now the ALL OF plane can use to carry weapon?

is stupid! is not for weapon. is to hurt Iranian people!!! 

Don't miss the point

The planes are used for carrying weapons and materials for the terrorists. So it does make a lot of sense to sanction them. Also, these planes are in no flying condition and it is safer to be grounded.

It can hurt the fat boy, hassan nassrullah!

US claims that Islamist Rapist Regime used the passenger airliners of Iran Air to ship weapons and money to chubby child killer hassan nassrullah and his terror gang hizbullah.

"Personal business must yield to collective interest."

so stupid

how can this hurt anyone but iranian traveler?

@ least they cn see america is not helping thm.

We should follow suit

I think we should follow suite and ban Bavafa.

I am not sure how this would affect IRI. Many years ago I knew some Libyans who could not fly to their country directly and used to fly to neighbouring countries to travel to Libya. That did not topple the Libyan regime but made it very difficult for Libyans to travel to West and adversely affecting the cultural exchange.

I also think any sanction must be as universal as possible to have the right effects; otherwise it just pushes Iran more towards China and Russia.

Oil needs to be first to have any impact.

Oil is the regimes source of income to trade with the world ad punish iranians.

no oil revenue, no regime.

maybe they are waiting a few years before they get serious.

Go for the jugular

Sanction the oil industrry and you will see how fast the downfall is faciliated.  However, this regime will not go unless the allies attack it via surgical methods.  Many brainwashed basij and IRGC must perish, as they are terrorists anyways, before Iran can be free of the filth of the Islamic Rapists.

Business of sanction

A French shipping company has recently gone under because of the sanctions. The frozen assets of the Airliner will be replenished by the next oil shipment. No worries there. Now go and find jobs for the laid off workers of the shipping company, the plane makers and their parts suppliers.

What kind of Iranian?

A REAL one.

Iran Air has gone from being Iran's national airline to being an international joke. It, like everything else under the fungus filled foot of the IR goons, needs to be cut off from the rest of the world until these scumbag Arabists are gone once and for all.  

So long as this regime is treated like they are legitimate, they will continue to destroy every aspect of the country. Money is their oxygen. Cut it off and let them suffocate.

Once they're gone then Iran Air and Iran in general can rebound.

Fred & Simorgh are anti-Iranian propagandists.

What Iranian hears that their country's national airline just got sanctioned and their first reaction is "Great news, now go for the oil!"  Enough said.  

Airtight sanctions

Great news, now go for Oil !
