From 1986 to 1990, the U.S. Commerce Department approved over $300 million worth of sensitive American exports to Iran and Syria.  Most of these were "dual-use" items, capable of making nuclear weapons or long-range missiles if diverted from their claimed civilian purposes.  The record of these exports, complied from Commerce Department data, has just become available. 372 exports worth over $282 million were approved to Iran, and 129 exports worth over $23 million were approved to Syria.
