Meng has been arrested for her alleged involvement in sanctions violations that took place sometime between 2010-2013 (i.e. during the U.N. Sanctions on Iran era), not for violations of the the current US-led sanctions.

I stand corrected, according to the article she was somehow involved with Skycom and they sold computers to Iran during UN sanctions.
> Skycom tried to sell 1.3 million euros ($1.7 million) worth of Hewlett-Packard Co. computer gear in late 2010, according to Reuters.
How egregious that may be is up for people to decide themselves. Bail was set at $7m.
Were the escalating tensions not so serious there'd be room here for a joke about Huawei doing the west a favour with such a poor choice of manufacturer.
The US unilaterally decided in May this year they want to pull out of that agreement.
The EU is still pushing ahead to have their largest companies trading with Iran despite American protestations. We both know nothing will happen to Daimler or Societe General execs.
