Iranian Military Agent Caught Trying to Enter U.S.

An Iranian citizen identified as a senior member of the country's Basij military force was caught trying to enter the United States posing as a cancer researcher, according to multiple sources familiar with the situation who told the Washington Free Beacon that the Trump administration should begin investigating how the individual was granted a U.S. visa in the first place.

Seyed Mohsen Dehnavi, who has been identified as a member of Iran's highly vetted volunteer Basij force, was turned away from entering the United States at Boston's Logan Airport.

Sources familiar with the situation said that Dehnavi is billing himself as a medical researcher and was to assume residency at a Boston-based hospital. He was detained earlier this week at Logan Airport along with his family and later sent back to Iran.

A Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) official familiar with the situation told the Free Beacon that Dehnavi was "deemed inadmissible to the U.S. based on information discovered during the CBP inspection."

[snip]"Here are the facts: Mr. Dehnavi is a high-ranking member of IRGC's Basij, has been involved in the IRGC's military research programs, has played a key role in oppressing dissidents, and Iran's Supreme Leader has given him his own keffiyeh as a gift," Saeed Ghasseminejad, a prominent Iranian dissident and regional expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies told the Free Beacon.

How long has Dehnavi had a visa to this country?

It's a shame he wasn't invited to a black site for some "uncomfortable" conversations 😉

That’s not the way CNN described it, or the bottom ticker on FOX. The implication was that a bona fide cancer researcher was tangled up in Trumps immigration rules. So unfair! /S

Wait a minute! Wasn’t it about 4 days ago the bleeding hearts were screaming because an “Iranian Cancer Specialist” was being held at the border?

Why does anyone from Iran get a visa?

Why does anyone from any moslem country get a visa?

Why hasn't Trump done something about this? Wait a minute...

Seize him, hold him, make his life as uncomfortable as possible, and use him as leverage.

Have a friend whose inlaws are still in Iran (were visiting here last month). They said Many wealthy families have gotten green cards and are expecting the government to be over thrown. They survived the overthrow of shaw by leaving country and are planning on doing same this time. They are counting on Trump unlike Obama not ignoring the cries of the people.

this is the article that explains that the spy was removed from the Trump administration

Iranian Spy Booted and Obama Holdover Booted from Trump ...Administration
http://theblacksphere.net/2017/04/iranian-spy-booted-obama-holdover-booted-trump-administration/

Excerpt:

Two weeks ago, an investigative journalist at Conservative Review had been tracking Sahar’s movements, and he was shocked to find she had snuck her way into the Trump administration. “Sahar Nowrouzzadeh, the Iran director for former President Obama’s National Security Council (NSC), has burrowed into the government under President Trump. She’s now in charge of Iran and the Persian Gulf region on the policy planning staff at the State Department,” reported Jordan Schachtel.
But, that’s not all. Schachtel also uncovered Sahar’s nefarious past. By all accounts, her actions depict a loyalist to the Iranian government, a spy for Ali Khamenei, the Supreme Leader of Iran. She crafted the Iran Nuke Deal and sold the bogus narrative to the American people, all with the blessings of the Obama administration.

The report continues, “To make matters worse, Nowrouzzadeh is a former employee of the National Iranian-American Council (NIAC), a non-profit that is accused of being a lobbying group for the Iranian regime. NIAC’s current president, Trita Parsi, has long held close relationships with top officials in the Tehran dictatorship.”
Luckily, President Trump got wind of Sahar’s dubious activities and was stunned to find her right within the White House. However, before she could do any more damage, Trump kicked her the hell out, and while the liberals are crying foul, patriots think it’s great.
