(Daily Caller) A man who is a dual-citizen of Iran and the U.S. pleaded guilty in federal court Tuesday to illegally conspiring to export technology and other electronic equipment to Iran’s authoritarian government, according to the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ).
Kambiz Attar Kashani, 44, evaded U.S. export laws with co-conspirators between February 2019 and June 2021 by failing to obtain the proper approval from the Treasury Department while providing services to Iran, the DOJ said Tuesday. He faces up to 20 years in prison and agreed to pay a $50,000 fine, according to the DOJ, on top of any forfeiture owed.
He conspired to export “two subscriptions to a proprietary computer software program; several fixed attenuators; two subscriptions to operating software; six power supplies; and several storage systems,” according to a prior court filing reviewed by the Daily Caller News Foundation.
