US federal trial opens against Huawei for Iran sanctions violations and conspiracy

The US criminal trial against Huawei has commenced in Brooklyn, New York, with prosecutors alleging a two-decade pattern of racketeering, trade secret theft, and Iran sanctions violations. Huawei's defense maintains that alleged actions were competitive, not criminal, and denies corporate-level conspiracy. The trial is a landmark prosecution with significant implications for US-China tech rivalry and corporate espionage enforcement.
