Iran Air, Iran's national carrier, will receive five passenger airplanes produced by the Franco-Italian manufacturer ATR Sunday, Iran's Mehr news agency reported Saturday. US sanctions against Iran, which would target ATR and other European companies if they did business with Iran, are set to resume on August 6. Iran Air signed a deal with ATR to purchase 20 new 76-600 airplanes in 2017.
