#2 No mention by Deutsche Wirtschafts Nachrichten of German firms selling equipment to Iran's government that could be used to refine uranium and make nuclear weapons, oddly enough. But those weren't passed on to terrorist groups, to whom Iran only gives conventional missiles and such.

But anyway, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, the UAE, and Turkey are considerd legitimate countries, the kind that are entitled to buy weaponry. If the article's targets were selling to international arms dealers or to agents of various terror groups that would be different.
