That isn't why. Canada detained her on US orders because we are engaged in a trade war with china. No trade war, no arrest.
Huawei's dealings with iran are so insignificant ( in the millions ) that nobody would waste their time on this arrest were it not for the trade war. The europeans have far greater "violations" in their dealings with iran as do japan and south korea.
They all pay a fine or offer geopolitical favors. Nobody got arrested... until now.

Hell even a canadian company broke sanctions. Nobody arrested, just a small fine.

She is getting "special" treatment because of the trade war.
