Germany charges two over Iran exports

German federal prosecutors said on Thursday they had charged two men on suspicion of exporting equipment to Iran intended for use in making long-range missiles capable of carrying nuclear warheads.

The suspects identified as Iranian citizen Mohsen A., 52, and German businessman Heinz Ulrich K., 65, stand accused of buying from a German firm a furnace used in making warheads and missile guidance systems heat resistant. (AFP)
