And engine issues they couldn’t promptly address due to the engine manufacturers having used defective supply chains during COVID. Blaming this on Iran in the face of increased competition from the legacies, engine manufacturer problems, serious miscalculation by management and the DOJ as to its viability absent a merger leaves plenty of blame to spread around not involving anything having to do with foreign policy decisions one may or may not agree with.

Blaming “the current administration” is just a little simplistic.
