 Andro Telemi of Sun Valley, Calif., changed his plea to guilty Thursday in Chicago federal court.
Prosecutors say an accomplice contacted the 42-year-old Telemi in 2009 and asked for his help buying and exporting 10 connector adapters used in an Iranian missile system.
Telemi allegedly negotiated a purchase for $9,500 from an Illinois company that was part of a sting.
The naturalized U.S. citizen from Iran will be sentenced Oct. 30. He faces up to 20 years in prison for one count of attempting to export defense articles without a license or approval.
There was no immediate response to a telephone message and email seeking comment from Telemi's attorney.
