Than what are we supposed to do? Report Nokia to the UN? Not do business with companies that do business with state sponsors of terrorism?

After doing all that, we cannot just cut off Iran electronically, that makes it worse.

You can’t cut Iran off period. You can hack together telecommunication routers with parts off the shelf if you know what you are doing. And guess what, Iran (as most countries) have a lot of smart information technology people.

None of this is new, top secret technology, these are not nukes, they are simple data packet switching systems.

I’m not sure J.S. understands how common and everyday this hardware is?
