Iranian extradited to US for smuggling sonar

An Iranian citizen has been extradited to Seattle to face a smuggling indictment that is more than a decade old. The charges allege he shipped military sonar equipment from the United States to Iran in violation of American trade sanctions. The extradition highlights the long reach of U.S. sanctions enforcement, even for cases that originated years prior to the current heightened tensions. The individual will now face prosecution in federal court.
