| U.S. grants second Airbus license to sell planes to Iran | |  By Yeganeh Torbati WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States said on Tuesday it had issued a second license to France's Airbus to sell commercial planes to Iran Air, bringing Iran's flag carrier a step closer to receiving new Western jets under last year's deal to ease sanctions.
