Republicans would not attack a good customer
So Iran does not have to worry about being attacked by the US. If we did, we would have to forego all those lucrative arms deals we don't seem to know we are making with Iran.
Federal investigators are increasingly anxious that Iran is within easy reach of a top priority on its shopping list: parts for the precious fleet of F-14 “Tomcat” fighter jets the United States let Iran buy in the 1970s when it was an ally.The Republicans are just a bunch of shopkeepers with a shelf full of stuff that "just fell off a truck" and their thumb on the scale.
In one case, convicted middlemen for Iran bought Tomcat parts from the Defense Department’s surplus division. Customs agents confiscated them and returned them to the Pentagon, which sold them again — customs evidence tags still attached — to another buyer, a suspected broker for Iran.
That incident appalled even an expert on weaknesses in Pentagon surplus security controls.
