“A glamorous Iranian woman living a lavish life in Los Angeles was arrested for allegedly trafficking deadly drones and bombs for Tehran. Shamim Mafi, 44, was taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday night and charged with allegedly brokering the sale of drones, bombs, bomb fuses, and millions of rounds of ammunition to be sold to Sudan, the US Attorney for the Central District of California said on Sunday. Mafi left Iran in 2013 and became a permanent US resident in 2016 under the Obama administration, officials stated. The Woodland Hills resident allegedly used Atlas International Business, an Oman-registered company, to broker weapons deals as recently as 2025, according to court records obtained by the New York Post. One of her sales included a contract for more than $70 million for Mohajer-6 armed drones made by Iran's Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics.”

WTH has been going on in LA with these enemy combatant Iranian women living the high life under Greaser Nuscum???? This one came in under Obama and I bet Obama knowingly let these puke women operatives in here. There’s probably a whole hoard of psychomullah spies all over the US being harbored by blue states! They’re voting in our elections too!! No wonder blue states are refusing to turn over their voter rolls!

IT is evident that this Iranian woman was not living the sharia lifestyle. Either the mullahs are OK with a woman spy living a secular lifestyle in an upscale area of Los Angeles or she was working for another nation, e.g. Turkey.

I’d say it’s the latter.

I think the psychmullahs are okay with the arms they receive and don’t give a shiite who was involved. And you’re probably right, another country is involved in the transport and money laundering.

LOL!
Won’t help when she’s deported back to the IRGC (if they’re still in power).
She’s going back to Iran.
Period.
She probably put out a hit on Trump for her ONE PHONE CALL.

If anti-immigrant riots return within the US, how can anyone tell the “good guy” Iranians from the sleeper cell “bad guys”?

Pew Research:
As of 2024–2026, approximately 400,000 to 750,000 Iranian-born individuals are living in the United States.

The population is concentrated in major metropolitan areas, with a significant number in Southern California (specifically Los Angeles, nicknamed “Tehrangeles”), Washington D.C., and New York City.

Highly educated, often good looking Iranians have appeared on news shows to be interviewed. All expressed moderate political views.

What about the strongly anti-American ones who are like the roughly 40% of ones living in Iran who support the theocratic regime.

The sleeper cell bad guys will be the ones shouting, “Death to America” and “Death to Israel” protected by the demoncrats.
And the good Persians already here will not be bothered because they hate the psychomullah regime and would like them blown off the face of the earth.

Are we the dumbest country on earth or what? Allowing our enemies to migrate here and paying them to do it.

I believe that Britain has pulled ahead of us.
But it’s still close.

Mahyar Tousi says it’s only about 15% of Iranians who support the regime.

Get photos (even AI generated ones) in compromising positions and then ship her back to Iran after publicizing the pics. Let the extremist there then deal with her.
