Two Iranian Muslims plead guilty to conducting surveillance on Jewish facilities in the US

Nov 11, 2019 1:00 pm By Robert Spencer

Doubtless they only did this because Trump withdrew from the nuclear deal, right? If only Obama or Hillary Clinton were President, none of this would be happening, and there would be peace, right?

“Iranian Agents in US Plead Guilty; Saudi Agents Arrested,” Clarion Project, November 7, 2019 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):

Two Iranians pleaded guilty to acting as illegal agents of the Iranian government in the U.S.

Ahmadreza Mohammadi-Doostdar, 39, an Iranian with dual U.S. citizenship, and Majid Ghorbani, 60, were caught running surveillance on Jewish facilities and events in the U.S. in support of the Mujahdein-e Khalq (MEK), an exiled Iranian resistance group that advocates for the complete overthrow of Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei and his Islamist regime.

According to an FBI affidavit, the two Iranian agents were also preparing “target packages” – i.e., attacks — on individuals who posed threats to the Iranian regime on American soil….

The Iranian agents, who have been in custody since their arrests, both struck deals with their prosecutors for reduced sentences in exchange for pleading guilty.

According to the original indictment against the Iranians, Doostdar traveled to the United States from Iran in the summer of 2017 to collect intelligence information about entities and individuals considered by the government of Iran to be their enemies — namely, Israeli and Jewish interests.

Doostdar is alleged to have conducted surveillance of the Rohr Chabad House, a Jewish institution in Chicago, including photographing the security features surrounding the facility.

Ghorbani is alleged to have attended a MEK rally in New York City in September 2017, during which he photographed individuals protesting against the Iranian regime.

Later that year, Doostdar returned to the U.S. from Iran, made contact with Ghorbani and paid him close to $2,000 in cash for 28 pictures Ghorbani had taken at the rally. Many of the pictures contained hand-written notes identifying the participants….

      Flavius, why are you posting Russian propaganda here?

        Because, one should always be aware of everything (or as much as is humanly possible) being said about every topic. This is what debate is about: two opposing views dueling it out, armed with facts, in the arena of opinion. Otherwise, one will end up uninformed (misinformed?) if all one listens to is American ‘propaganda.’ (One could say that everything is propaganda, since every purveyor of news has a bias and engages in “gate-keeping” and spin.)

        And holding an uninformed opinion is a violation of Clifford’s moral principle. This is especially true if one willfully turns one’s ears away from the other side of an argument.

          OK–in that case, I guess I should start posting more Jihad propaganda here, just to keep things nice and balanced…

    Ahmadreza Mohammadi-Doostdar, 39, an Iranian with dual U.S. citizenship

    Accurate – Iranian with dual citizenship. Not “Iranian-American” or “American of Iranian ancestry” – an Iranian holding an invaluable US citizenship.
