President Donald Trump has sharply criticized the nuclear deal hammered out during the Obama administration. In turn, Iran has accused the U.S. of not complying with terms of the deal, which also involved France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Russia and China. Castillo’s ruling, posted in the court docket Tuesday, rejects Boeing’s contention that providing the contract details to the victims would not only undermine the mega-contract with Iran Air — but could jeopardize the nuclear deal itself. That deal lifted sanctions on Iran and many hailed the Boeing contract in 2016 as an example of how the nuclear agreement benefited both countries. The default judgment was entered after Iran never responded to the lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Chicago.
