что до декабря 2008-го Армения поставляла в Иран?
Добрый день!
Как сообшает Гардиан, в 2008-м Армения, под угрозой санкций со стороны
США, согласилась прекратить реэкспорт оружия (некие пулеметы и ракеты) в Иран. Известно ли, о чем конкретно речь?

One of the more ruthless examples of American pressure to contain and isolate Iran is seen in a December 2008 letter from the then US deputy secretary of state, John Negroponte, to the Armenian president, Serzh Sargsyan, concerning an arms shipment to Iran that went via Armenia.
"We value our positive relationship with your government, as we explore a range of shared interests," Negroponte's letter to Sargsyan begins ominously. "At the same time, we are dismayed by a serious and, indeed, deadly arms re-export case." He goes on to convey Washington's "deep concerns about Armenia's transfer of arms to Iran which resulted in the death and injury of US soldiers in Iraq". Then he wields the big stick, warning of sanctions up to and including a discontinuation of US aid. Sargsyan is forced to back down, admit the arms sales and promise action including periodical "unannounced visit by US experts" to ensure compliance.
