Three men, including an Iranian-born chemical engineer living in Glendale, have been charged in a scheme to smuggle sophisticated industrial components into Iran that could be used in the development of a nuclear weapon, authorities said Wednesday.
The case has drawn interest at the highest levels of government, an official with Immigration and Customs Enforcement told The Times. The charges come as the U.S. is rallying allies to block Irans nuclear ambitions.

When Carter initiated the embargo on military hardware to Iran, I saw a TV interview with some Iranian official. (UN?) The reporter asked that since the Iranian AF consisted of US aircraft, what was Iran going to do for spare parts etc? The Iranian smirked and said, “We’re dealing with American businessmen here. We’ll have no problem getting what we need.”
That was thirty years ago and I still remember it.

There’s no worry, I agree. After all, what would Iran want with the stuff? They’d probably just send it back.

“The Iranian smirked and said, Were dealing with American businessmen here. Well have no problem getting what we need.”
And they have!
So has China.
American big business is becoming corrupt. No allegiance to the USA whatsoever.

Sorry, revealing my ignorance here.
Are those three supposed to generic "pseudo anonymous" names, or are they CEOs of tech/defense companies?
Cheers!

Perfect punishment would be to send the guy back to live in Iran again.

I just hit the sack within minutes. Early hard work day ahead. But perhaps this article can be bumped into tomorrows viewing... It appears to have significant news value.

They'd probably just send it back.It's the method of delivery that would be troublesome.
