Malaysia-Iran's Military Middleman!

Justin Blum has written a fascinating article on the illicit global market for military equipment. He finds that Iran has used illicit arms dealers in Malaysia to circumvent the existing arms embargo and purchase American made weapons. The U.S. has pursued at least 6 cases involving Malaysians. The U.S. ambassador to Malaysia has suggested that some of the problem stems from the lack of export control in the Malaysian economic system.
