A Washington, D.C. federal court received a guilty plea from a United Kingdom resident in connection with violations of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act and Iranian Transactions and Sanctions Regulations.

According to the Department of Justice, 46-year-old Saber Fakih explained in his plea that he conspired with three individuals in three different countries to export and attempt to export an Industrial Microwave System and counter-drone system from the U.S. to Iran.

Bader Fakih, 41, of Canada; Altaf Faquih, 70, of the United Arab Emirates; and Alireza Taghavi, 46, of Iran were indicted along with Saber Fakih, who pleaded guilty to the second count of the indictment.

“Fakih and his coconspirators attempted to evade U.S. sanctions and obtain highly sensitive pieces of equipment for Iran from unwitting U.S. suppliers,” Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department’s National Security Division said in a press release. “In doing so, Fakih jeopardized not only U.S. national security, but the national security of any other nation Iran decides to target. The Department of Justice can and will act to disrupt and prosecute such criminal conduct.”

If convicted, Saber Fakih faces 20 years’ imprisonment and a fine of $1 million for violating the IEEPA.
