U.S. Rep. Rick Larsen blasted his fellow lawmakers in the U.S. House of Representatives who voted Thursday to block Boeing's big jetliner sale to Iran.

Larsen, the Democrat who represents Washington state's 2nd Congressional District, said lawmakers who want to shoot down the Iran Air deal are helping Boeing rival Airbus.

“This bill is the first step of this new administration and this Republican Congress to destroy manufacturing and manufacturing jobs in this country,” said Larsen, a ranking member on the House Subcommittee on Aviation. “By prohibiting the Department of the Treasury from authorizing transactions of commercial aircraft to the Republic of Iran, the bill writes a check to our competitors in Europe.”

2. Brillant. Boeing will lose out, Americans may lose their job, and Airbus will gladly fill the

void.
