Federal officials arrested Jeffrey Chance Nader, a U.S.-Iranian national, in California following his indictment for unlawfully exporting U.S.-manufactured aircraft components to Iran, including parts used in military aircraft like the F-4 fighter jet. Beginning in 2023, Nader and his associates allegedly coordinated the purchase and shipment of aircraft parts through his California-based business, Pro Aero Capital, intending to send them to Iran via the United Arab Emirates. The Department of Commerce seized the components before they were shipped.
