LONDON (Reuters) - China’s Huawei Technologies, which for years has denied violating American trade sanctions on Iran, produced internal company records in 2010 that show it was directly involved in sending prohibited U.S. computer equipment to Iran’s largest mobile-phone operator.

Two Huawei packing lists, dated December 2010, included computer equipment made by Hewlett-Packard Co and destined for the Iranian carrier, internal Huawei documents reviewed by Reuters show.

Another Huawei document, dated two months later, stated: “Currently the equipment is delivered to Tehran, and waiting for the custom clearance.”

The packing lists and other internal documents, reported here for the first time, provide the strongest documentary evidence to date of Huawei’s involvement in alleged trade sanctions violations. They could bolster Washington’s multifaceted campaign to check the power of Huawei, the world’s leading telecommunications-equipment maker.

1. Keep Huawei out of domestic markets

They are an organ of the Chinese government and engaged in highly suspect actions.

3. U$ corporations

Have outsourced pharma and electronics manufacturing to China, we are going to face shortages of drugs and how much of our circuit boards in military equipment are made in China

4. Iran is Suffering

Iran is suffering from our sanctions. There is an epidemic there and not enough masks, equipment and medicines. We need to change our sanctions and let in these items as an humanitarian gesture of goodwill. This from a friend with relatives there who are pediatricians in Iran. We can do better!

6. The US has no sanctions on Iran importing humanitarian items.

Neither does the UN. However Iran has screwed up their economy enough they can't afford a lot of imports. Maybe if they stopped supporting civil wars in Syria and Yemen they'd have more money for that.
