MIAMI — A Taiwanese businessman was sentenced Friday to 3 1/2 years in U.S. prison for violating the Iran trade embargo by arranging illegal shipments of parts that can be used for military or nuclear purposes, including in missiles and unmanned drones.

Yi-Lan "Kevin" Chen, 40, had faced up to 20 years on each of three charges, but U.S. District Judge Adalberto Jordan cited Chen's remorse, lack of prior criminal record and immediate admission of guilt as reasons for a lighter sentence.
