A federal jury in Boston finds Massachusetts resident Mahdi Mohammad Sadeghi guilty of conspiring to unlawfully export electronic components to Iran in violation of U.S. sanctions, according to multiple reports. The charges relate to alleged efforts to provide technology that prosecutors say could be used in connection with drones, including drone-linked electronics. Sadeghi is accused of helping an Iranian business associate circumvent U.S. export control rules. Prosecutors say the scheme involved creating a front company in Switzerland to obscure the true end user and destination of the electronic components. Sadeghi, who resides in Massachusetts, worked at Analog Devices before his arrest in December 2024. The jury convicts him on three of five charges, reflecting partial agreement with the prosecution’s case. The reports characterize the case as involving unlawful export activity and sanction-related violations, centering on the alleged use of corporate structures and export-control evasion to facilitate shipments to Iran.
