Sistertech has plenty to do right here in the Bay Area, but let’s face it, The One In Charge is monitoring everything, everywhere, 24/7. The Guardian UK reports that Iran received some sensitive technology, once again breaking the U.N. sanctions against Iran.
A Taiwanese company agreed to a request from a firm in China to procure sensitive components with nuclear uses, then shipped them to Iran, the firm’s head said Friday. Such transactions violate U.N. sanctions imposed on the Middle Eastern nation.The admission by Steven Lin of Hsinchu-based Heli-Ocean Technology Co. Ltd. comes amid an international effort led by the United States to prevent Iran from developing nuclear weapons. While Lin said he didn’t know whether the parts — a vital component in the production of weapons-grade uranium — were eventually used by Iran militarily, he did acknowledge that they have nuclear applications.
I’m not happy about it simply because I don’t trust the current regime in Iran to be responsible users of nuclear technology. (Do I need to spell out the reasons why? Didn’t think so.)
