Iran and China Leading Destinations for Smuggled U.S. Weapons

A multi-agency initiative to combat illegal exports of restricted military and dual-use technology from the United States has resulted in criminal charges against more than 145 defendants in the past fiscal year, with roughly 43 percent of these cases involving munitions or other restricted technology bound for Iran or China. The items sought from America in these illicit schemes are as diverse as missile technology, nuclear technology, assault weapons, trade secrets, source code, military aircraft parts, night vision systems, and technical
know-how.
