BOSTON: An Iranian-born engineer was convicted on Monday of US charges that he conspired to illegally export technology with potential application in military drones to a company in Iran whose customers included the country’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.
Mahdi Sadeghi, a dual US-Iranian citizen and resident of Natick, Massachusetts who had worked at Analog Devices prior to his December 2024 arrest, was found guilty by a federal jury in Boston on three counts, including conspiracy to export technology to Iran in violation of US sanctions.
