## Resource

A Massachusetts tech worker, Mahdi Mohammad Sadeghi, was found guilty on three counts for conspiring to illegally ship electronic components to Iran — aiding a Tehran-based military drone program by using a fake Swiss company to evade U.S. export laws. Though he didn’t testify and remains free pending sentencing in October, prosecutors say he knowingly helped his Iranian associate bypass sanctions, while the defense argued there was insufficient proof the parts reached Iran or that he profited. The case unfolded amid rising U.S.-Iran tensions, and Sadeghi — a naturalized citizen and father of two — lost his job at Analog Devices as a result.
