Iran Seeks Missile Parts From U.S.
 Iran continues to seek missile parts via the United Arab Emirates. U.S. officials said Iran has established front companies in the UAE for the import of missile components from the United States. They said the Iran's state-owned Shahid Hemmat Industrial Group was behind the smuggling effort. The FBI has arrested an Iranian-born businessman on charges that he illegally smuggled equipment for Iran's missile program. The indictment, released on Jan. 11, said Mohammad Farahbakhsh, 43, sent pressure sensors and other equipment from a Stamford, Conn. company to the United Arab Emirates. From the UAE port of Dubai, the missile sensors were shipped to Iran. Farahbakhsh, a resident of Los Angeles, holds both Iranian and U.S. citizenship. Posted by: Fred 2005-01-23 |
