Iranian Arms Dealer Arrested

Federal authorities have apprehended Shamim Mafi, a lawful permanent resident of the U.S., for allegedly operating as an arms dealer for the Iranian regime.

Prosecutors claim Mafi used her Los Angeles residence as a base to coordinate the delivery of military equipment to the Sudanese Armed Forces amidst their ongoing civil war.

Neighbors reported a steady stream of suspicious late-night activity at her Woodland Hills condo, which investigators believe was a front for her international operations.

Mafi now faces severe federal charges that could result in significant prison time if convicted.
