The men, 42-year-old Mahdi Mohammad Sadeghi and 38-year-old Mohammad Abedini, are charged with conspiring to export electronic equipment from the United States to Iran. Sadeghi, who is a dual US-Iranian citizen, lives in Massachusetts and made his initial appearance in court Monday.

"CNN" reported on the news and attempted to contact Sadeghi's attorneys for comment. It was not immediately clear whether Abedini has an attorney.

Abedini is also charged with providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and was arrested Monday in Italy.

Three US Army soldiers were killed and more than 30 service members were injured in a drone attack on a small US outpost in Jordan in January, US officials told CNN, the first time US troops were killed by enemy fire in the Middle East since the beginning of the Gaza war. Iran has denied any involvement in the attack on the outpost, Tower 22.
