#1 Seems to me that if the USDOS really cared, they could pay a visit to any of the manufacturers of the goods mentioned in the article and offer a little trade: allow 'da boyz' to intstall super secret kill switches in the goods ( the kind that could discreetly and slowly disable stuff) or face EAR violations and all the bad press and big fines/jail time that come from same. Sounds to me like we may not be that serious about Iran (but then that may not exactly be a news flash).

#2 Yah, the UAE end runs sanctions on Iran. They also deal directly with Ayatollah owned companies. And the UAE is projected to run out of oil in 2017. Soon all those highrises will be ours.
