Iran, its airlines and US plane maker Boeing are discussing the purchase of about 100 jets following the easing of trade sanctions between the US and Iran in January.
Any purchases will however require additional US government approval to complete.
Iran's wish list is for medium-haul jets such as Boeing’s single-aisle 737 and long-range 777 plus 787s.
Other Iranian airline deals are being progressed with Europe's Airbus.
