ACLJ Seeking Information On Obama-Era Iran Deal Documents On Iran's Use Of Commercial Planes For Jihad

WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) today filed a number of formal Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests ? a new round of legal demands to the bureaucracy aimed at bringing those Obama-era flaws and secrets to light.

In a blog post by ACLJ Executive Director Jordan Sekulow, the ACLJ's demands are clear:

"We are demanding that four key agencies involved with the Iran Deal ? the State Department, the Department of the Treasury, the National Security Agency (NSA), and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) ? give us the records that will show what they knew about Iran Air's use of civilian airliners to transport military personnel and equipment.  What they knew matters because, in the Iran Deal, they agreed to let Boeing and other plane manufacturers sell airplanes to Iranian airliners like Iran Air."

"In these new FOIA requests, we are demanding:

all records concerning the connection between the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), OFAC licenses issued to Boeing and Airbus allowing agreements for well over 200 jets, U.S. government knowledge of Iran's past use or intended or possible future use of Iran Air jets to transport military personnel and/or equipment, and any discussions prior to the JCPOA concerning Iran Air's use or possible use of jets for those purposes."

The complete post about the ACLJ's latest FOIA requests is available here.

Led by Chief Counsel Jay Sekulow, the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ), focusing on constitutional law, is based in Washington, D.C. and is online at www.aclj.org.
