The U.S. Justice Department charged U.S.-Iranian national Jeffrey Chance Nader on August 14 with crimes related to the alleged export of U.S.-manufactured aircraft components to Iran. The Justice Department accused Nader, 68, who was arrested on August 13 in California, and other associates of conspiring to purchase and illegally export four types of aircraft components totaling nearly three dozen individual pieces in violation of U.S. economic sanctions and other federal laws. Some of the components are used in military aircraft operated by Iran’s armed forces, including U.S.-made F-4 fighter jets. The Justice Department said the indictment demonstrates its “commitment to keeping military-grade equipment out of the hands of the Iranian regime.”
