I'm surprised there were any exports to Iranian firms left

Surprised yet not surprised that this is still a thing

Very difficult, if not impossible, to enforce sanctions against non-complying third parties that RESELL tech to Iran, and even to ensure compliance within your own country. The US Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control only has 250 people ensuring compliance with all sanctions worldwide. They need more.

And the EU doesn't even have an organization for that. All they have is a still pending Sanctions Envoy. Think of what leaks through with so little policing. Only individual member-states have any kind of meaningful mechanisms to address that.

Did the US really not see the problem when iranian drones were pointed at the US's middle eastern allies? It's only when they're used on Ukraine instead of say Israel or the UAE that the US sees the problem?

Sounds like a pretty strong endorsement for their products.

Trade with Russia and its known weapons suppliers should be conducted on a whitelist basis. Only firms with clean hands should be welcome.
