The US government recently placed a ban
on the Chinese OEM ZTE from selling devices with American-made hardware
and software. This followed violations of US sanctions on Iran and
failing to reprimand their employees as part of the terms of the
agreement. According to The Wallstreet Journal, it appears
Huawei will be the next company to be investigated for such violations.
Should Huawei be found guilty of violating US sanctions on Iran, they
may also be barred from using American-made products in their devices

In the worst case scenario, the company may find itself in the same position as ZTE – unable to use Qualcomm processors and a possibility of losing their license to sell devices with Android pre-installed.
ZTE’s foothold in the market was effectively shattered simply because
of the ban imposed by the American Department of Commerce. To a company
of Huawei’s scale, the damages could be even more catastrophic. It would
effectively remove one of the biggest players in the market. The only
hope for the company would be not to lose their Android license, as they
can still use their own Kirin line of processors.

I still don't understand why ZTE took such a risk officially selling their devices in Iran, it can be easily mitigated, such as here in Syria devices are shipped to a neutral country such as UAE or Lebanon and then bought by the Syrian distributors.
