Box 23973, 1687 Nicosia, Cyprus Order Denying Export Privileges On December 14, 2016, in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, Mansour Moghtaderi Zadeh, a/k/a Mansour Zadeh, a/k/a Mita Zarek, a/k/a Mita Zadeh (``Zadeh''), was convicted of violating the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701, et seq. (2012)) (``IEEPA''). Specifically, Zadeh was convicted of knowingly and willfully conspiring to export and cause the export of goods from the United States to Iran without the required U.S. Government authorization. The goods involved included aviation course indicators, aerospace metal sheets and rods, specialty paints and adhesives, and a fiber optic video transmitter and receiver. Zadeh's unlawful conduct included violating an underlying [[Page 39106]] temporary denial order (``TDO'') that the Bureau of Industry and Security (``BIS'') had issued. The named respondents under the TDO included, among other parties, Zadeh (under his ``Mita Zarek'' alias) and Lavantia, Ltd., a Nicosia, Cyprus company that Zadeh owned and/or controlled. Zadeh was sentenced to 18 months in prison, 12 months of supervised release, and a special assessment of $100.00. Additionally, Zadeh forfeited $69,159. Section 766.25 of the Regulations provides, in pertinent part, that ``[t]he Director of the Office of Exporter Services, in consultation with the Director of the Office of Export Enforcement, may deny the export privileges of any person who has been convicted of a violation of the EAA [Export Administration Act], the EAR, or any order, license, or authorization issued thereunder; any regulation, license or order issued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706); 18 U.S.C. 793, 794 or 798; section 4(b) of the Internal Security Act of 1950 (50 U.S.C. 783(b)); or section 38 of the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2778).'' 15 CFR 766.25(a); see also Section 11(h) of the EAA, 50 U.S.C. 4610(h). The denial of export privileges under this provision may be for a period of up to 10 years from the date of the conviction. 15 CFR 766.25(d); see also 50 U.S.C. 4610(h). In addition, Section 750.8 of the Regulations states that BIS's Office of Exporter Services may revoke any BIS licenses previously issued pursuant to the Export Administration Act (``EAA'' or ``the Act'') or the Regulations in which the person had an interest at the time of his conviction. BIS has received notice of Zadeh's conviction for violating IEEPA, and has provided notice and an opportunity for Zadeh to make a written submission to BIS, as provided in Section 766.25 of the Regulations. BIS has received a seven-page submission from Zadeh, via his U.S. counsel. Based upon my review, including of Zadeh's submission, and my consultations with BIS's Office of Export Enforcement, including its Director, and the facts available to BIS, I have decided to deny Zadeh's export privileges under the Regulations for a period of ten (10) years from the date of Zadeh's conviction. I have also decided to revoke all licenses issued pursuant to the Act or Regulations in which Zadeh had an interest at the time of his conviction. Accordingly, it is hereby ordered: First, from the date of this Order until December 14, 2026, Mansour Moghtaderi Zadeh, a/k/a Mansour Zadeh, a/k/a Mita Zarek, a/k/a Mita Zadeh, currently incarcerated at Inmate Number: 43594-013, Rivers Correctional Institution, P.O.
