Iran Caught Smuggling Nuke Materials Out of U.S.

WFB:

An Iranian national was caught by the Trump administration attempting to smuggle materials that can be used to enrich uranium, the key component in a nuclear weapon, out of the U.S., according to the Justice Department.

Behzad Pourghannad allegedly attempted to smuggle carbon fiber out of America and ship it to Tehran. Pourghannad was arrested in May 2017 in Germany and later extradited to the U.S. He arrived in America on Monday. On Tuesday, the Justice Department unsealed a three-count indictment charging Pourghannad and two others in the plot to export the sensitive nuclear materials.

Ali Reza Shokri and Farzin Faridmanesh, the two alleged conspirators, remain at large. more

  1. Was this guy arrested before Trump cancelled the Iran nuke deal that Obama so carefully set up that was supposed to halt all of Iran’s nuke development for ten years? If so I hope to God that Trump shoves it in the face of all the countries and the left in your country that pilloried him for it. The Mullahs can’t be trusted. Hell, these guys set up their IRGC (Iran Revolutionary Guard Corps) essentially modeled after the German SS to terrorize their own armed foces as well as the civilian population.

  2. Geoff: Exactly! And toss in the Americans who must have been involved too. If the decision is not to dispose of them the way the Rosenbergs were, I’d be happy to prepare (stretch, oil and knot) the ropes for them. I donated my table saw years ago so I wouldn’t be able to build the gallows…

  3. Hell, had Obutthole still been in charge the government would have had a military escort transport the goods with a parade of soy-boys lead by the GFQLT fags.
    Along with a stipend of 2.5 million every week.

  4. I scanned this story earlier. It seems it was a load of carbon fiber.

    I didn’t know they had that back in 1945.

    But yeah, I agree, there’s no reason those goofs need it.

  5. Do I have the chronology right? Between 2008 ~ 2013 three Iranians attempted to export carbon fiber to Iran, useful for enriching uranium. In 2010, Obama and Hillary complete the sale of Uranium One to Rosatom, the Russian state owned energy company.

    People are more upset about the Iranian’s attempted secret smuggling of CF than Barry’s and Hill’s, quiet yet semi-public, selling of uranium to the Russians. And it’s now 2019, 9 ~ 11 years after the alleged events. About a decade has passed, and no one is behind bars thus far.
