The question of how the West is to deal with Iranian procurement agents has lately taken on added urgency, given that intelligence sources believe that Iran s program to build nuclear bombs has kicked into overdrive. While Iran faces stiff controls on the goods it can import, the country skirts sanctions by setting up procurement networks in diaspora communities. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
