That these governments in wealthy countries cynically set aside the basic scientific protocols <a href="https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/a-guide-to-who-s-guidance" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">released</a> by the World Health Organization and by scientific organizations reveals their malicious practice. Anything less than focused attention to managing the virus by testing, contact tracing, and isolation—and if this does not suffice, then imposing a temporary lockdown—is foolhardy. It is equally distressing that these richer countries have pursued a policy of "<a href="https://www.sciencemag.org/news/2020/07/vaccine-nationalism-threatens-global-plan-distribute-covid-19-shots-fairly" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">vaccine nationalism</a>" by stockpiling vaccine candidates rather than a policy for the creation of a "<a href="https://www.unaids.org/en/resources/presscentre/featurestories/2020/december/20201209_we-must-have-a-peoples-vaccine" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">people's vaccine</a>." For the sake of humanity, it would be prudent to suspend intellectual property rules and develop a procedure to create universal vaccines for all people.Although the pandemic is the principal issue on all of our minds, other major issues threaten the longevity of our species and of our planet. These include:Nuclear AnnihilationIn January 2020, the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists <a href="https://thebulletin.org/doomsday-clock/current-time/" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">set</a> the Doomsday Clock to 100 seconds to midnight, too close for comfort. The clock, created two years after the first atomic weapons were developed in 1945, is evaluated annually by the Bulletin's Science and Security Board, who decide whether to move the minute hand or keep it in place. By the time they set the clock again, it may well be closer to annihilation. Already limited arms control treaties are being shredded as the major powers <a href="https://www.armscontrol.org/factsheets/Nuclearweaponswhohaswhat" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">sit</a> on close to 13,500 nuclear weapons (more than 90 percent of which are held by Russia and the United States alone). The yield of these weapons could easily make this planet even more uninhabitable. The United States Navy has already <a href="https://fas.org/blogs/security/2020/01/w76-2deployed/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">deployed</a> low-yield tactical W76-2 nuclear warheads. Immediate moves toward nuclear disarmament must be forced onto the world's agenda. Hiroshima Day, commemorated each year on August 6, must become a more robust day of contemplation and protest.Climate CatastropheA scientific <a href="https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/4/4/eaap9741" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">paper</a> published in 2018 came with a startling headline: "Most atolls will be uninhabitable by the mid-21st century because of sea-level rise exacerbating wave-driven flooding." The authors found that atolls from the Seychelles to the Marshall Islands are liable to vanish. A 2019 United Nations (UN) <a href="https://www.un.org/sustainabledevelopment/blog/2019/05/nature-decline-unprecedented-report/#:_{:text=The%20Report%20finds%20that%20around,20%25%2C%20mostly%20since%201900.}" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">report</a> estimated that 1 million animal and plant species are threatened with extinction. Add to this the catastrophic wildfires and the severe bleaching of the <a href="https://peoplesdispatch.org/2021/01/01/you-dont-want-to-imagine-an-ocean-without-coral-reefs-but-you-might-have-to/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">coral reefs</a> and it is clear that we no longer need to linger over clichés about one thing or another being a canary in the coal mine of climate catastrophe; the danger is not in the future, but in the present. It is essential for major powers—who utterly fail to shift from fossil fuels—to commit to the "common but differentiated responsibilities" approach established at the 1992 <a href="https://www.un.org/en/development/desa/population/migration/generalassembly/docs/globalcompact/A_CONF.151_26_Vol.I_Declaration.pdf" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">UN Conference on Environment and Development</a> in Rio de Janeiro. It is telling that countries such as Jamaica and Mongolia <a href="https://tinyurl.com/ybuj7xd8" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">updated</a> their climate plans to the UN before the end of 2020—as mandated by the Paris Agreement—even though these countries produce a tiny fraction of global carbon emissions. The funds that were committed to developing countries for their participation in the process have virtually dried up while external debt has ballooned. This shows a lack of basic seriousness from the "international community."Neoliberal Destruction of the Social ContractCountries in North America and Europe have eviscerated their public function as the state has been turned over to the profiteers and civil society has been commodified by private foundations. This means that the avenues for social transformation in these parts of the world have been grotesquely hampered. Terrible social inequality is the result of the relative political weakness of the working class. It is this weakness that enables the billionaires to set policies that cause hunger rates to rise. Countries should not be judged by the words written in their constitutions but by their annual budgets; the U.S., for example, spends almost <a href="https://www.thetricontinental.org/dossier-35-twilight/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">$1 trillion</a> (if you add the estimated intelligence budget) on its war machine, while it spends a fraction of this on the public good (such as on health care, something evident during the pandemic). The foreign policies of Western countries seem to be well lubricated by arms deals: the United Arab Emirates and Morocco <a href="https://peoplesdispatch.org/2020/12/18/donald-trumps-final-act-snuffing-out-the-promise-of-democracy-in-the-middle-east/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">agreed</a> to recognize Israel on the condition that they could purchase $23 billion and $1 billion worth of U.S.-made weapons, respectively. The rights of the Palestinians, the Sahrawi, and the Yemeni people did not factor into these deals. The use of illegal sanctions by the United States against 30 countries including Cuba, Iran, and Venezuela has become a normal part of life, even during the COVID-19 public health crisis. It is a failure of the political system when the populations in the capitalist bloc are unable to force their governments—which are in many ways democratic in name only—to take a global perspective regarding this emergency. Rising rates of hunger reveal that the struggle for survival is the horizon for billions of people on the planet (all this while China is able to <a href="https://tinyurl.com/y2ffk8v9" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">eradicate</a> absolute poverty and largely <a href="https://tinyurl.com/y2hvrrp3" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="blank" style="background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); text-decoration-line: none; opacity: 1; transition: color 0.25s ease 0s, background 0.25s ease 0s, opacity 0.25s ease 0s;">eliminate</a> hunger).</div>=<a href="https://theintercept.com/2020/12/02/uae-arms-sale-wagner-group/">https://theintercept.com/2020/12/02/uae-arms-sale-wagner-group/</a>lame duck, congr hearings?

‘If you are wondering who benefits’: Weapons makers see stocks surge as Trump moves closer to war with Iran
Written by Common Dreams January 4, 2020Almost immediately after the United States assassinated Iranian General Qassem Soleimani in a drone strike Thursday night, major American weapons manufacturers and defense contractors—from Northrop Grumman to Lockheed Martin to Raytheon—saw their stocks surge as investors sensed the growing likelihood of another costly and deadly war in the Middle East.
As the Los Angeles Times reported, “Even as the broader Standard and Poor’s 500 index lost ground, the S&P Aerospace & Defense Select Industry index climbed 1.8% on Friday.”
According to the Times:
Northrop Grumman Corp. stock jumped 5.4%. Based in Falls Church, Va., Northrop Grumman makes such aircraft as the B-2 bomber and the upcoming B-21 bomber and is the sole bidder to build the next generation of intercontinental ballistic missiles.
AeroVironment Inc. advanced 6.9%. The Simi Valley company makes small, short-range reconnaissance drones that U.S. soldiers use. The increase in troop deployment to the Middle East could mean more business for AeroVironment, said Ken Herbert, managing director with investment banking and financial services firm Canaccord Genuity.
Shares of Lockheed Martin Corp., which makes the F-35 fighter jet, climbed 3.6%. Missile and radar technologies maker Raytheon Co.’s stock rose 1.5%.
The surge in defense stocks was readily highlighted on corporate television programs like Fox Business and in publications like Investor’s Business Daily, which noted that “Northrop Grumman (NOC) and Lockheed Martin (LMT) were big winners in Friday’s stock market trading, along with Raytheon stock.”
Citigroup analyst Jonathan Raviv wrote Friday that “if Middle East conflict were to ratchet up…we think it could be tougher for Democratic Party electoral candidates to argue against a stronger defense budget in 2020.”
“As is always the unfortunate case, defense stocks tend to benefit from perceptions of heightened risk and the potential for geopolitical conflict,” Raviv added.
Rep. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.), who along with Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) unveiled legislation to stop Pentagon funding for U.S. military action against Iran, tweeted late Friday that “if you are wondering who benefits from endless wars, take a look at how stocks for weapons manufacturers began to rise as soon as Soleimani was killed.”
“Defense contractors spent $84 million lobbying Congress last year,” Khanna noted, “and it certainly wasn’t to promote diplomacy and restraint.”</div></div><div>

Kanders over his ownership and chief executive position at a weapons manufacturer whose tear gas product was recently used against migrants – including small children – at the United States-Mexico border. Kanders is a majority owner, and chairman and CEO, of Safariland LLC, whose 19 brands of riot gear and so-called “less lethal” weapons includes Defense Technology, the manufacturer of the tear gas canisters that Customs and Border Protection fired into Mexico against migrants seeking asylum in the US from violence in Central America.<p source="Source" sans="Sans" pro="Pro" sans-serif="sans-serif" font-size="font-size" px="px" background-color="background-color" rgb="rgb" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">Kanders is not the only tear gas profiteer with ties to the art world, however. David Rubenstein, the co-founder of the private equity behemoth Carlyle Group, is chairman of the John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, vice chair of the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, a trustee at the National Gallery of Art, and a member of the board of regents of the Smithsonian Institute.

Kanders is a major donor to the Whitney Museum in New York City and is a member of its board of trustees – a role which has drawn unwanted attention as the museum has faced escalating protests as well as a call from more than 100 workers at the museum for Kanders to step down. Kanders is also a member of the advisory board to Brown University’s Institute for Environment and Society, a position that d<a href="http://www.browndailyherald.com/2018/02/07/zimmerman-15-duncan-16-culhane-15-bustos-16-brown-greenwashing-tear-gas-rubber-bullets/" target="blank" rel="noopener" style="box-sizing: border-box; text-decoration-line: none;">rew protest</a> from students at the school earlier in 2018.<p source="Source" sans="Sans" pro="Pro" sans-serif="sans-serif" font-size="font-size" px="px" background-color="background-color" rgb="rgb" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">Kanders’ partner Allison sits on the board of directors of the Aspen Music Festival.<p source="Source" sans="Sans" pro="Pro" sans-serif="sans-serif" font-size="font-size" px="px" background-color="background-color" rgb="rgb" style="box-sizing: border-box; margin-top: 2em; margin-bottom: 1rem;">So far, Kanders has remained unapologetic for profiting off the use of chemical weapons to attack migrants and crush political dissent. “I’m very comfortable with our business – we’re technological leaders in every aspect of what we do.

He is also a member of the board of trustees of the University of Chicago.Like Kanders, Rubenstein leads a life of extravagance.

People of conscience have taken note, and these institutions will need to reckon with their concrete connection to state violence through the weapons profiteers that sit on their boards and fund their activities.=<div class="g" style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 30px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><div data-hveid="CAUQAA" data-ved="2ahUKEwikgqfE9MDhAhVNgK0KHZVdAjsQFSgAMAJ6BAgFEAA"><div class="rc" style="position: relative;"><div class="r" style="margin: 0px; line-height: 1.54;"><a href="https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/&ved=2ahUKEwikgqfE9MDhAhVNgK0KHZVdAjsQFjACegQIBRAB" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;" /><h3 class="LC20lb" style="font-weight: normal; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; display: inline-block; line-height: 1.33;"><a href="https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/&ved=2ahUKEwikgqfE9MDhAhVNgK0KHZVdAjsQFjACegQIBRAB" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;"></a><a href="https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/&ved=2ahUKEwikgqfE9MDhAhVNgK0KHZVdAjsQFjACegQIBRAB" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;"></a><a href="https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/&ved=2ahUKEwikgqfE9MDhAhVNgK0KHZVdAjsQFjACegQIBRAB" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;"></a><a href="https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/&ved=2ahUKEwikgqfE9MDhAhVNgK0KHZVdAjsQFjACegQIBRAB" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;"></a><a href="https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/&ved=2ahUKEwikgqfE9MDhAhVNgK0KHZVdAjsQFjACegQIBRAB" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;"></a><a href="https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/" ping="/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://hyperallergic.com/472964/a-whitney-museum-vice-chairman-owns-a-manufacturer-supplying-tear-gas-at-the-border/&ved=2ahUKEwikgqfE9MDhAhVNgK0KHZVdAjsQFjACegQIBRAB" style="cursor: pointer; text-decoration-line: none;">A Whitney Museum Vice Chairman Owns a Manufacturer Supplying ...</a></h3>

<h2>History</h2>

Steyr has been on the "<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_ore" title="Iron ore">iron</a> road" to the nearby <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Erzberg_mine" title="Erzberg mine">Erzberg mine</a> since the days of the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Styria" title="Duchy of Styria">Styrian</a> <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otakars" title="Otakars">Otakar</a> dukes and their <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Babenberg" title="House of Babenberg">Babenberg</a> successors in the 12th and 13th century has been known as an industrial site for forging weapons.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] The privilege of iron and steel production, particularly for <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knife_making" title="Knife making">knives</a>, was renewed by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/House_of_Habsburg" title="House of Habsburg">Habsburg</a> duke <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_I_of_Germany" title="Albert I of Germany">Albert of Austria</a> in 1287. After the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thirty_Years%27_War" title="Thirty Years' War">Thirty Years' War</a>, thousands of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musket" title="Musket">muskets</a>, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pistol" title="Pistol">pistols</a>, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbine" title="Carbine">carbines</a> were produced annually for the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habsburg_Monarchy" title="Habsburg Monarchy">Habsburg Imperial</a> Army.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>]

In 1821, Leopold Werndl (1797-1855), a blacksmith in Steyr, began manufacturing iron parts for the productions of weapons. After his father's death, 24-year-old Josef Werndl (1831-1889) took over his factory. On April 16, 1864, he founded the "Josef und Franz Werndl & Comp. Waffenfabrik und Sägemühle in Oberletten" (Josef and Franz Werndl & Partners Weapons Factory and Sawmill in Oberletten), from which later emerged the "Österreichische Waffenfabriksgesellschaft" (OEWG, Austrian Arms-Manufacturing Company), a <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stock_company" title="Stock company">stock company</a> (AG) since 1869, of which the Steyr Mannlicher firearm production was a part.

Werndl's cooperation with engineer <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Mannlicher" title="Ferdinand Mannlicher">Ferdinand Mannlicher</a> (1848-1904), who had patented an advanced <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repeating_rifle" title="Repeating rifle">repeating rifle</a> in use by the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austro-Hungarian_Army" title="Austro-Hungarian Army">Austro-Hungarian Army</a>, made OEWG one of the largest weapon manufacturers in Europe. First applied in 1890, the Mannlicher pistol model 1905, and the Steyr pistol M.1912 became milestones in auto-loading pistols technology.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] At the beginning of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">World War I</a>, with more than 15,000 employees, production output was 4,000 weapons per day.

After the end of the war, weapons production in Steyr was all but entirely prohibited according to the 1919 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treaty_of_Saint-Germain-en-Laye_%281919%29" title="Treaty of Saint-Germain-en-Laye (1919)">Treaty of Saint-Germain</a>, and the company faced bankruptcy. To survive, the OEWG converted their machinery to concentrate on producing <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_automobile" title="Steyr automobile">Steyr automobiles</a> under chief designers <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hans_Ledwinka" title="Hans Ledwinka">Hans Ledwinka</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinand_Porsche" title="Ferdinand Porsche">Ferdinand Porsche</a>, as well as <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bicycle" title="Bicycle">bicycles</a> (colloquially called Waffenräder ("weapon bicycles"). In 1926 the company changed its name to "Steyr-Werke". The production of Steyr Mannlicher weapons continued in cooperation with Patronenfabrik Solothurn AG at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zuchwil" title="Zuchwil">Zuchwil</a> in neutral <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Switzerland" title="Switzerland">Switzerland</a>. After the Austrian <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anschluss" title="Anschluss">Anschluss</a> to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_Germany" title="Nazi Germany">Nazi Germany</a> in 1938, the Steyr factories were incorporated into the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reichswerke_Hermann_G%C3%B6ring" title="Reichswerke Hermann Göring">Reichswerke Hermann Göring</a> industrial conglomerate and the outbreak of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</a> provided a brief revival in weapons production. Like many other companies, Steyr Mannlicher relied on <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Forced_labour" title="Forced labour" class="mw-redirect">forced labour</a>, employing numerous inmates from the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr-M%C3%BCnichholz_subcamp" title="Steyr-Münichholz subcamp">Steyr-Münichholz subcamp</a> of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauthausen-Gusen_concentration_camp" title="Mauthausen-Gusen concentration camp">KZ Mauthausen</a>.

During the 1950s the Mannlicher-Schönauer full stock rifle experienced a renaissance.[<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] Simultaneously, the re-emergence of the Austrian Armed Forces in the Second Republic was the base for a new start of military weapons production.

In the 1970s, Steyr opened up new dimensions in military weapons development with a new assault rifle in bullpup design. The StG 77 extensively utilized synthetic materials, and integrated fixed optics. The export version became the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_AUG" title="Steyr AUG">AUG</a>—“Armee Universal Gewehr” (Universal Army Rifle).

<h2>Controversy</h2>

Steyr made international headlines when it sold 800 <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_HS_.50" title="Steyr HS .50">HS .50</a> long range sniper rifles to <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iran" title="Iran">Iran</a> in 2005, for the National Iranian Police Organisation to use against drug smugglers, by <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Navid_Pars_business_Group&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Navid Pars business Group (page does not exist)">Navid Pars business Group</a> later to be known as Navid Pars America through its chairman <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Navid_Khiabani&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Navid Khiabani (page does not exist)">Navid Khiabani</a>.

There were claims in the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UK" title="UK" class="mw-redirect">UK</a> and the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States" title="United States">United States</a> that the rifles would find their way into <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraq</a> and be used against the New Iraqi Army or Coalition forces. Forty-five days later it was claimed that several American soldiers were killed by one of the exported weapons, and that a number of the rifles were recovered in raids on Iraqi insurgents.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_Mannlicher#cite_note-Telegraph0213-2">[2]</a> However, the U.S. Central Command announced late 2007 that no Austrian rifle had been found or seized in Iraq.<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_Mannlicher#cite_note-WienerZeitung-3">[3]</a><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steyr_Mannlicher#cite_note-TheWeeklyStandard-4">[4]</a>
