The United States has filed charges against two Iranian citizens and one Pakistani national for providing material support to what the U.S. Department of Justice described as an Iranian weapons of mass destruction program. The department stated on Thursday that "the accused Iranians are brothers working for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard." It added that "the Pakistani citizen is accused of working for the brothers as a smuggler ship captain," clarifying that "the Pakistani national is awaiting trial, while the two Iranians remain at large."
