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.
