Trafficked weapons on behalf of Tehran: Seductive businesswoman arrested in the US

A seductive Iranian businesswoman with an American green card was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport. She is suspected of trafficking weapons on behalf of Tehran.

Shamim Mafi, 44, of Woodland Hills, was taken into custody Saturday night and charged with brokering deals for Iranian drones, bombs and millions of rounds of ammunition destined for Sudan, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California announced.

According to the records, Mafi allegedly conducted arms deals while in close contact with Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security, which had provided him with instructions and funds to open a business in the US to operate abroad.

"She is accused of brokering the sale of drones, bombs, bomb fuses and millions of rounds of ammunition manufactured by Iran and sold to Sudan," said First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli on Sunday, announcing the arrest.

Mafi posted seductive photos of herself traveling around the world, including in a $100,000 Mercedes-Benz roadster.

Mafi, who left Iran in 2013 and became a permanent resident of the U.S. in 2016 under the Obama administration, allegedly used a company registered in Oman, Atlas International Business, to broker arms deals through 2025, according to court records.

Among the contracts was one worth more than $70 million for Iranian-made Mohajer-6 armed drones by the Ministry of Defense and Logistics of the Iranian Armed Forces.

The drones, along with 55,000 bomb fuses, were transferred to Sudan's Ministry of Defense, which has been engaged in a bloody civil war since 2023.
Iran has been repeatedly accused of violating a United Nations arms embargo during the Sudanese civil war, with its drones first in use by government forces.

The civil war has claimed between 61,000 and hundreds of thousands of lives as it enters its fourth year. A UN mission has been tasked with finding evidence of mass deaths in Darfur as "signs of genocide."

The conflict has also displaced nearly 9 million people, making it one of the worst displacement crises on the planet.
