Excerpt:

An Iranian national has been charged with a plot to export military antennas from the U.S. to Singapore and Hong Kong -- a violation of the Arms Export Control Act -- the Justice Department said Tuesday.   An indictment unsealed in U.S. District Court in Washington on Tuesday charges Amin Ravan and his Iran-based company of conspiracy to defraud the United States, smuggling, and violating the export act. The Justice Department said that Ravan was arrested by authorities in Malaysia on Oct. 10, and the U.S. is seeking to extradite him to face trial in Washington. The department said that 55 military antennas were exported to Ravan's co-conspirators in Singapore and Hong Kong. If convicted of all charges, Ravan faces up to 35 years in prison.
