#1 The Boeing deal was a touted as a by product of the Obama Iran nuclear deal. Just like everything else Obama did, it was all a failure.

#2 ...I'm wondering if this isn't Iranian BS for the masses: "We pulled one over on the Infidels again!", and they're actually going to pay something reasonably close to the original amount.

The other alternative is that the Iranians privately agreed to $16.6B USD, Boeing gets everything ready and makes commitments, and THEN the Mullahs say, "Oh BTW we're only gonna pay this KTHXBYE." That leaves Boeing in the position of either taking a loss or losing the order entirely, because Airbus will snap it up in a heartbeat for whatever pocket change the Iranians will throw their way since Airbus is government subsidized and doesn't have to worry so much about pesky things like profits.

#4 I'm wondering if US taxpayers (courtesy of Barack Hussein) are not making the difference to Boeing.

One of the first elements criminologist search for is motive. I would offer the Iranian nuclear deal as a potential entry.

#6 Does sound like one of those super-secret side deals ~~Puppet-master ValJar~~ Obama made in that Iran deal.

#7 I imagine that Boeing would demand payment up front in full for each plane before delivering the planes.
