Very old news, I am afraid.
Iranians knew/suspected that already in 1992, which is why a Swiss
salesengineer for Crypto AG found himself in a Teheran military prison, subject
to ¨intensive examination¨
No help from the CIA in securing his release....
On a related note : Enigma type machines were used in the Swisss army. A few of
these found their way in the Swiss army surplus shop, sold for a pittance.
If only I had known then that these would be worth between 50-100K USD
today....
