She gave birth to a baby boy in custody in Adelaide while battling extradition to the US.
Ghodskani faces a maximum of five years in a US federal prison and a $US250,000 ($369,000) fine after signing a plea agreement with American prosecutors,but her lawyer plans to ask for a time-served sentence.
"The parties have not reached an agreement as to a recommended sentence,and each party is free to argue for any sentence it deems appropriate,"the plea agreement filed in the US District Court on Friday states.
Ghodskani was a Tehran-based employee of Fana Moj,a communications company with its principal customer the Iran government's Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting radio and TV network.
The court heard in 2009 she helped established"front company"Green Wave Telecommunication in Malaysia and falsely represented herself to US companies in order to acquire export-controlled technology.
"To defendant's knowledge,in nearly all cases,the purchased goods would be delivered to Green Wave's office in Malaysia but then re-shipped to Iran,"the plea agreement states.
Ghodskani moved to Australia with her husband on a skilled migration visa in 2012.
