NEW YORK: US authorities said Monday that two Iranian nationals have been arrested for alleged export crimes related to a drone strike that claimed the lives of three US servicemen.
According to the Pentagon at the time of the incident, a drone attack at a Jordanian military base close to the Syrian border in January injured over 40 additional service members.
The drone that carried out the strike allegedly employed navigational components that were shipped to Iran by the two men, one of whom was Iranian and the other a naturalized American-Iranian.
Joshua Levy, the United States Attorney for Massachusetts, stated, “When we discuss the risks of American technologies falling into the wrong hands, we frequently bring up hypothetical risk.”
