US Seizes Iranian Arms Trafficker

The arrest follows a complex investigation into an international network that allegedly bypassed U.S. sanctions to supply military hardware to conflict zones.

Prosecutors claim Mafi facilitated the sale of millions of rounds of ammunition and bomb fuses between Tehran and Khartoum.

The case highlights the ongoing challenges of enforcing the naval blockade and preventing Iranian weapons from reaching global markets.

Mafi faces multiple federal charges related to trafficking and violating national security laws.
