Can somebody explain to me what jurisdiction the USA might assert over Huawei for anything they claim Huawei did to undermine the Iran embargo? I'm confused as to what law the DoJ will say is broken.
Isn't the issue at hand that Huawei used US made parts in their product, and indirectly exported the aggregate product to Iran, thereby violating US export controls? That seems to make the jurisdictional issue reasonably easy?

But the USA doesn't have jurisdiction over items once they're sold. I mean, if a gun is resold in another country and used in a murder, the killer can't be tried in the USA bc he used an American gun in the crime.

Hm? §560.205 clearly has extraterritorial application (it explicitly refers to non US-persons, in contrast to §560.204 which is about US persons). I don't see how this compares with your gun example.

That would require that the US actually announce what the charges are.
