The DOJ is also accusing Kashani of lying to multiple U.S. companies to hide his conspiracy.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>From February 2019 to June 2021, authorities said Kashani and his co-conspirators used companies in the UAE and Brooklyn, New York, to send goods to users in Iran without obtaining licenses from the U.S. Department of the Treasury\u2019s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC). Kashani and his partners allegedly claimed the shipments were intended for companies in the UAE.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKashani and his co-conspirators procured U.S.-origin goods and information technology for ultimate use in Iran, including for use by the Government of Iran,\u201d said Assistant Attorney General Matthew G. Olsen of the Justice Department\u2019s National Security Division. \u201cKashani repeatedly lied to numerous U.S. companies to conceal his intention to ship items to Iran, allowing him to illegally obtain information technology for use by the CBI and other Iranian entities. The Justice Department continues to do everything it can to end the illegal export of items that threaten our national security.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The CBI has been designated by the U.S. government as an institution \u201cacting for or on behalf of terrorist organizations.\u201d It has supported Lebanese Hizballah and the Qods Force of Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC), the terrorist arm of the Iranian government.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While the Justice Department did not say the technology being transferred to the Iranian government was going to be used for terrorism, the FBI noted it\u2019s a possibility. \u201cTechnology illegally transferred to Iran from the United States could be used by terrorists, which is why the FBI and its partners devote significant resources to these investigations,\u201d said Assistant Director Alan E. Kohler Jr. of the FBI\u2019s Counterintelligence Division. \u201cThose doing the bidding for Iran in the United States should expect the full force of our law enforcement and Intelligence Community partners.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Kashani\u2019s arrest comes as Iran continues to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/top-iranian-general-we-will-strike-america-witness-the-annihilation-of-the-americans\">threaten<\/a> violence against the U.S. Last week, IRGC Commander-in-Chief Admiral Ali Fadavi said that Iran is planning an attack on the U.S. \u201cThis is the status of the Americans, this is the status of the enemies of Allah, and this is the status of those who stand with the Axis of Falsehood,\u201d Fadavi remarked while talking about the 2016 incident when Iran held American sailors captive for hours. \u201cWe do not have the slightest doubt that at the right time, when we strike America \u2013 the Great Satan \u2013 and its Zionist followers, we will strike them with great force.\u201d<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">IRGC Deputy Chief Admiral Ali Fadavi: At the Right Time, When We Strike America, the Great Satan, and Israel, It Will Be with Great Force; If Israel Acts Against Us, We Will Turn Tel Aviv into Dust <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Iran?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Iran<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/IRGC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#IRGC<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/JCPOA?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#JCPOA<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/z90L1Nz4LQ\">pic.twitter.com\/z90L1Nz4LQ<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 MEMRI (@MEMRIReports) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MEMRIReports\/status\/1480429335664336897?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">January 10, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Only a few days later, the official website for Iran\u2019s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei released a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/revenge-is-definite-iran-releases-video-depicting-assassination-of-trump-at-mar-a-lago\">video<\/a> depicting the assassination of former President Donald Trump at his home in Mar-a-Lago, Florida.
