Sanctions busters: How Iran crackdown used French bullets

François PICARD | Alessandro XENOS | Rebecca GNIGNATI | Elena COLONNA | Azadeh KIAN | Behnam BEN TALEBLU | Ershad ALIJANI | Patrick Wilcken

Edité par France 24 - 2024

 

Speaking of sanctions, we ask about an Iran that's been living under them for years, that's holding its breath ahead of Israel's forthcoming response to its missile salvos and to a US election with possible consequences on the scale of pressure and isolation.

Watch our investigation in fullRepression in Iran, ammunition made in France

Note

  • How porous are sanctions? The war in Ukraine has familiarised this show with the concept of dual-use products, like the washing machine whose computer chip can power a lethal drone. FRANCE 24's investigative news website The Observers got reports from citizen journalists in Iran during the 2022 "Woman, Life, Freedom" protests about shotgun cartridges made in France and used in the crackdown on peaceful protesters. We track their journey from the factory to the streets.
