British-made aircraft sold to Iran, first since '79

For everyone following the current political and diplomatic crisis with Iran, I havejust discovered a little gem of a story that has surprisingly received very little press coverage. I find it amazing and somewhat strange that apart from this newswire, NO OTHER media organization has covered this story. Perhaps this something to do with the British media policy of keeping quiet when it comes to the sale of British Aircraft into Middle East  (i.e. 
BAE/Saudi Arabia controversy - http://www.guardian.co.uk/baefiles
) Well enough is enough, now that this story is “Nowpublic” I hope that the acts of hypocrisy and deception played by our elected government and politicians are clear for everyone to see.    

If America and Europe are in the process of imposing sanctions on Iran, why the heck are they selling military aircraft to them? The British government has just
approved the sale, to Iran, of the "Islander" aircraft that is used by military and army forces worldwide
