British Man Accused of Selling Missile Parts To Iran

Voice of America

A British man has appeared in court in London, accused of trying to sell missile parts to Iran in breach of international sanctions. Wealthy golf club president Christopher Tappin denies the charge and is fighting an extradition request from the United States, where he could face a 35-year prison sentence if found guilty. As Henry Ridgwell reports from London, the case has highlighted the tightening of sanctions against Tehran - and the problems that foreign businesses face in trying to do business in Iran.
