Spain arrests 2 over suspected Iran nuclear export

MADRID (AP) — Spanish police have arrested two people and seized equipment made by a Spanish company that was to be illegally shipped to Iran for use in its nuclear program, officials said Friday.

Police officers stopped a tractor trailer at a highway toll booth in the northern town of Durango on Wednesday and after an inspection arrested the two people and seized the cargo, an Interior Ministry statement said. It said the police “dismantled a ring trafficking material for the development of the Iranian nuclear program.”
