Lim Hung Su, Hyundai’s director said: We found that several pieces of our products including a ” Horizontal filing unit vector which is a highly accurate measurement machine tool, is purchased in Turkey and made available to Iran. Fearing use of this equipment in the Iranian regime’s missile program, we stopped its transfer through the Turkish company.
The Hyundai official added: we have never directly exported our machinery tools to Iran.
According to this report, Wikileaks had recently published a U.S. State Department document dated 2009, that had shown that the Turkish company Ak Makina, imported sensitive and strategic machinery parts from the Korean Hyundai and made them available to Iran.
