Is Iran Zionist? By the definition of BDSers, apparently it is!

Yesterday, Brown University announced that its governing board had voted to reject a student proposal to divest from 10 companies that also sell to Israel.
The ten companies are Airbus, Boeing, General Dynamics, General Electric, Motorola Solutions, Northrop Grumman, RTX Corporation (formerly Raytheon and United Technologies), Textron, Safariland, and Volvo Group (AB Volvo).
The recommendation by Brown’s Advisory Committee on University Resource Management (ACURM) that was accepted by the board states that there are no direct investments by Brown in those companies, and its indirect investments are not only minuscule but virtually impossible to avoid, since Brown has practically no influence over how their investment managers choose to invest on behalf of thousands of other corporations. (Their previous divestment from tobacco companies likewise did not block indirect investments.)
Yet Iran does not have any problem trying to make direct deals with at least some of these awful Zionism complicit companies.
During the time period after the JCPOA was signed in 2015 and before the Trump administration revoked the agreement in 2018, Iran signed contracts with Boeing, Airbus and Volvo Group to buy products and parts. In 2016, Boeing signed a deal to sell 80 aircraft to Iran Air; Airbus signed deals to sell 100 planes to Iran. Even companies like GE pursued deals with Iran in that time period.
Volvo had factories to assemble trucks in Iran. Volvo maintains some sales ties to Iran today and Volvo trucks are used to transport Iranian missiles.

At no point did Iran say we will not deal with these companies that supposedly, somehow, violate Palestinian rights.
Which means that, according to the tortured logic of Israel haters, Iran violates their sacred BDS Call of 2005 and is therefore complicit in Zionist crimes.
The student protesters are more antisemitic and hate Israel more than Iran does.
