Irani leaders use SAHA 707 or Iran Air 741/747SP for their tours.

Off topic but why did you post the official full name of that country, couldnt you have just said Iran? would you say Fedral Republic of Germany or Peoples Republic of China or Jamahirya Libya, why the formality?

Even if there were two Iran's you could informally call them as North Iran or East Iran or whatever other way, even calling it Islamic or Christian Republic of Iran wouldnt make sense if two such states existed, it would just be North, South, East and West.

Them even posting the title "The Airline of the Islamic Republic of Iran" every where for Iran Air is like a mockery of the religion.
This is the name written on the aeroplanes fuselage. And BTW, is the EU contemplating to ban these vintage models? Has the EU advised the President to use a B777 if he wishes to fly into 27 countries of the EU ?

Iran Air Force Boeing 707-386C (c/n 21396, l/n 928, air force serial# 1001) built in 1978 for the Government of Iran.

Here's its photo link, also note PIA Airbus A310-308 (AP-BEU) in photo's background.

Don't be cynical. Are you suggesting that EC imposed restrictions on PIA fleet due to their age?
