Makes complete sense.
Iran/China/Russia all have more advanced missiles than the US has deployed like, ever. Iran and Russia have demonstrated recently hypersonics that are effectively unblockable.
What kind of knowledge do these arms export controls really do other than make it more difficult to compete with defense contractors?

Russia's Kinzhals got intercepted by 1980s Patriots. Iran's are just boring old ballistic missiles. > Iran and Russia have demonstrated recently hypersonics that are effectively unblockable. The US has plenty of similar ballistic missiles; ATACMS is similarly tough to intercept. Doubly so in large numbers, which was how Iran got some through.
