"As alleged in the complaint, the defendants conspired to obtain US-origin parts needed to manufacture drones for military use in Iran and send those parts to Iran in violation of export control laws," US Attorney John J. Durham for the Eastern District of New York said. In coordination with the criminal charges, the US Treasury Department announced a new round of sanctions targeting six entities and two individuals based in Iran, the UAE, and China who are involved in supplying drone components to Iran's QAI, a key actor in Iran's military drone program. The case is being handled by the US Attorney's Office for the Eastern District of New York in cooperation with the DOJ's Disruptive Technology Strike Force, an interagency initiative designed to prevent hostile regimes from accessing American technology.
