WASHINGTON (Sputnik) - A dual citizen of the United States and Iran pleaded guilty to conspiring to send electronic equipment and technology to the government of Iran in violation of the sanctions imposed on the country, the US Justice Department said.
“A dual citizen of the United States and Iran pleaded guilty today to conspiring to illegally export US goods, technology and services to end users in Iran, including the government of Iran, in violation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act,” the Justice Department said in a press release on Tuesday.
The Justice Department alleged that between February 2019 and June 2021, Kambiz Attar Kashani, along with his co-conspirators, used two companies in the United Arab Emirates to evade US sanctions on Iran and send electronic goods, technology and services without obtaining licenses, the release said.
