Federal authorities on Friday raided a Houston business as part of an international investigation in which a total of nine people have been indicted for allegedly supplying Iran with high-tech microelectronics, power supplies and other commodities valued in the millions, officials said.
Two local men were arrested as part of the probe.
“The nine defendants charged in the indictment allegedly circumvented U.S. sanctions and illegally exported controlled microelectronics to Iran,” said John P. Carlin, assistant attorney general for National Security.
