An Iranian man living in Alabama has been charged with violating U.S. sanctions on Iran by exporting goods to the Islamic Republic.

Ray Hunt — also known as Abdolrahman Hantoosh, Rahman Hantoosh and Rahman Natoosh — used his company to export oil and gas parts to Iran, according to a 15-count federal indictment.

Iran’s national flags are seen on a square in Tehran February 10, 2012. An Alabama man is charged with trying to evade U.S. sanctions on Iran.

Hunt allegedly shipped the goods destined for Iran through Turkey and the United Arab Emirates in an effort to evade U.S. sanctions. He operated Vega Tools LLC, which resold industrial parts, including control valves and oil tubing, for the industrial and energy sectors.

He is charged with conspiracy to defraud the United States, sanctions violations, smuggling goods from the United States and submitting false or misleading export information.

In 2017, Hunt exported a Ranger Hydro-Chem Firefighting Nozzle to an Iranian importer of industrial equipment through Turkey, according to court records. The invoice for the part falsely stated it was to be shipped to Turkey, federal prosecutors said.
