BIS Slaps Export Ban on Individual for Indirect Telecom Shipments to Iran

The Commerce Department’s Bureau of Industry and Security (BIS) banned export privileges for Armin Shir Mohammadi until 2023 over violations of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (here). A U.S. District Court convicted Mohammadi in 2013 of exporting communication and other equipment to "persons in third countries with knowledge that such goods were intended for supply, transshipment, and reexportation, to Iran." The Treasury Department didn't authorize the shipments to Iran, said BIS.
