Exports to Iran from the US grew more than tenfold during President Bush's years in office even as he accused Iran of nuclear ambitions and helping terrorists.
Other surprising shipments to Iran during the Bush administration possibly included weapons. The U.S. government's own figures show that at least $148,000 worth of unspecified weapons and other military gear were exported from the United States to Iran during Bush's time in office. That includes $106,635 in military rifles and $8,760 in rifle parts and accessories shipped in 2004, the data shows. Also shipped to Iran were at least $13,000 in "aircraft launching gear and/or deck arrestors," equipment needed to launch jets from aircraft carriers, according to U.S. records.
