Shahab Ghasri, 31, was found guilty and given a three-month suspended jail sentence in Lund, Sweden, for violating international sanctions against Iran.  The Swedish national, of Iranian decent, was accused of attempting to sell 11 advanced valves to Iran, and to evade international sanctions by shipping the items through Dubai.  Experts said the non-corrosive valves could be used in uranium enrichment.
