Norwegian currently have a 787 stuck in Iran with a broken engine, so I'm not sure they can take off with only one engine

From what I gather, certification requires that they can take off successfully if an engine fails during the take-off run (after V1). I doubt that they're allowed to leave with half the engines inoperational already.
