Two Iranian-Americans charged with spying on Jewish and Israeli facilities

Aug 21, 2018 4:33 pm By Robert Spencer

If Barack Obama were still President, or if Hillary Clinton were President, do you think Ahmadreza Mohammadi-Doostdar and Majid Ghorbani would be facing prosecution? Neither do I. This is another indication of the Trump administration’s determination to stand up to this rogue regime that doesn’t just scream “Death to America” and “Death to Israel,” but plots and works actively toward achieving the downfall of the world’s only superpower and the lone Jewish state. Instead of enabling the bloodthirsty mullahs, Trump is working to oppose them and support the demonstrators in Iran who are fighting for freedom.

“Two Iranian-Americans Charged With Spying on Jewish, Israeli Facilities,” by Adam Kredo, Washington Free Beacon, August 20, 2018:

Two Iranian-Americans have been charged by the Trump administration with spying on Jewish and Israeli-associated facilities in California on behalf of the hardline Iranian regime, the Department of Justice announced late Monday.

The charges, first made public on Monday, are among the first by the Trump administration charging Iranian spies of running operations on the Jewish and American communities on American soil.

“The National Security Division is committed to protecting the United States from individuals within our country who unlawfully act on behalf of hostile foreign nations,” Assistant Attorney General John Demers said in a statement.

The two Iranian individuals—identified as Ahmadreza Mohammadi-Doostdar, a dual U.S.-Iranian citizen, and Majid Ghorbani, an Iranian citizen and resident of California—”with allegedly acting on behalf of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran by conducting covert surveillance of Israeli and Jewish facilities in the United States, and collecting identifying information about American citizens and U.S. nationals who are members of the group Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK),” an Iranian opposition group that promotes regime change in the Islamic Republic.

“Doostdar and Ghorbani are alleged to have acted on behalf of Iran, including by conducting surveillance of political opponents and engaging in other activities that could put Americans at risk,” Demers said. “With their arrest and these charges, we are seeking to hold the defendants accountable.”…

    A moslim is a moslim…all other geographic or descriptive adjectives are useless.

    Is this not the definition of treason….residing inside the country and acting on behalf of an enemy nation?

    ………………..

    I’m glad they are being prosecuted–and I hope if found guilty that after serving their sentences they are stripped of their American citizenship and deported to Iran.

    TRAITORS.

    Delete US citizenship, drop off at Gitmo for several years, then deport.

    Can we cut the hyphenated American crap?

    Either you are an American or you are something else. Take your pick. Choose one or the other.

    As for these two, send them to Gitmo. Try them in a military court for being unlawful combatants and out of uniform. Quit calling them Americans. They are not. They are Iranians that came here to attack us. FDR was not my favorite president, but he knew how to deal with treason. Read up on the German saboteurs that were landed on Long Island in 1942 from a U-Boat. Some were citizens. They did not last long.

    “The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American.”

      I completely concur.

      Thanks for posting the quote from Teddy Roosevelt. Every ‘leader’ in the Western world should have this written in neon lights on the wall of his/her office.

        Stella:

        From the paucity of comments, I take it that no one was surprised to hear about this. Sure as hell did not show up on the lame stream mediums. Guess the LSM crystal balls and smoke and mirrors did not forewarn them of this.

          Guy, I think you’re right about nobody being surprised. At JW, we know enough to know that these vile traitors are everywhere. Of course the mudslime media won’t report it. I personally know of a case where a Saudi-born engineer was fired from his job at an armaments factory because he was caught copying documents. It was kept very hush-hush.
