A naturalized U.S. citizen, Abouzar Rahmati, pleaded guilty to spying for Iran while working as a contractor for the Federal Aviation Administration. Court documents revealed that Rahmati shared sensitive information about U.S. airports and the energy sector with Iranian officials, starting in December 2017.

He downloaded over 175 GB of files, including sensitive FAA documents related to the National Aerospace System.

Rahmati conspired to act as an agent of the Iranian government from at least December 2017 to June 2024 without notifying the attorney general.
