U.S. national Mahdi Mohammad Sadeghi was convicted in federal court of conspiring to violate and violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) and the Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations (ITSR) by illegally exporting electronic components from the United States to Iran. Sadeghi worked for a Massachusetts-based microelectronics manufacturer and helped Mohammad Abedininajafabadi (Abedini) procure export-controlled U.S. origin components for Abedini’s Iran-based company, San’at Danesh Rahpooyan Aflak Co. (SDRA), which manufactures Sepehr navigation systems used in the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)'s military drone program, as well as in cruise missiles and ballistic missiles. Sadeghi helped transfer U.S.-origin goods, including accelerometers, gyroscopes, inertial measurement units, and semiconductors, through Abedini's Switzerland-based front company Illumove SA after arranging a contract between Illumove and his employer. A Shahed unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) recovered after a 2024 attack that killed three U.S. service members in Jordan had a navigation system manufactured by SDRA. Abedini remains at large.
