By guards they dont mean people waiving flags do they!
Transporting goods for people in Iran has been classified as a big BIG no NO by Uncle Sam because those guards like to build things that go bang (when they are not supposed to). So if you think a contract to supply lots of shining new railway track equipment to a bunch of guards in Iran is the thing to do - then think again before booking your next trip to USA (you wont be coming back in a hurry when they tie up your passport to your company and the deals you have done with THEM!!! Apart from that the BBC do a pretty good job of being totally impartial - dont they.
