A Toronto man is facing charges of illegally trying to export nuclear technology to Iran, the RCMP said Friday.

The charges stem from an alleged attempt to illegally move pressure transducers from Boston to Toronto and onto Dubai, with Iran as the final destination, police said.

"The declared point of destination was Dubai, in the United Arab Emirates. However, we have evidence to support the fact that its ultimate destination was Iran," RCMP Insp. Greg Johnson told a press conference.

The pressure transducers that were seized are used in the uranium enrichment process for weapons-grade products, Johnson said.

Sounds fishy to me. An $1,100 instrument. Probably industrial grade.

The world needs a bit more information, other than a restriction on trade on practially everything.

3. It would have to go through Dubai, or Bahrain or the like

Unless it comes from Russia. No one else would dare ignore the strict sanctions on Iran.
