She is not the hijab-wearing hardliner one might have expected, and that seems to be exactly the idea.
“Glamorous Iranian woman living high life in Los Angeles is arrested for ‘trafficking deadly drones and bombs for Tehran,'” by Emma Richter, Daily Mail, April 19, 2026:
A glamorous Iranian woman living a lavish life in Los Angeles was arrested for allegedly trafficking deadly drones and bombs for Tehran.
Shamim Mafi, 44, was taken into custody at Los Angeles International Airport on Saturday night and charged with allegedly brokering the sale of drones, bombs, bomb fuses, and millions of rounds of ammunition to be sold to Sudan, the US Attorney for the Central District of California said on Sunday.
Mafi left Iran in 2013 and became a permanent US resident in 2016 under the Obama administration, officials stated.
The Woodland Hills resident allegedly used Atlas International Business, an Oman-registered company, to broker weapons deals as recently as 2025, according to court records obtained by the New York Post.
One of her sales included a contract for more than $70 million for Mohajer-6 armed drones made by Iran’s Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces Logistics.
Those drones and 55,000 bomb fuses were transferred in deals with the Sudanese Ministry of Defense, which has been fighting in a violent civil war since 2023.
According to phone records included in court documents, Mafi had direct contact with Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) between December 2022 and June 2025.
During her time in America, Mafi has shared pictures of her living the high life, including an image of her posing in a $100,000 Mercedes-Benz. …

That’s Ms. Taqiyya to you, you stupid Kafir.
I’m not a devout Jihadi arms dealer in service to Islam. I’m just a greedy woman who likes the hight life and engages in arms dealing to support my Gucci habit. Why look, I’m not wearing a hijab over my bleached blonde hair.
And the 9-11 Jihadis dressed in the clothing of the West, shaved their beards, went to strip clubs and drank alcohol (Oh how they suffered for the cause!) to prevent suspicions of them being devout Muslims.
It’s almost like the U.S. is in a war with Islam, that Islam seems to be aware of, and the U.S. can’t see.
The U.S. still classifies Islam as a “religion”. The U.S. is still busy virtue signaling their “religious tolerance” and feeling so superior to those who see Islam for the military and governmental organization that
its actions, so clearly, show that it is.
If the U.S. would reclassify Islam as the military and governmental organization that it is, would the U.S. then have the ability to bar Islam at the U.S. borders?
Something to consider.

Prcs usn, that Ben Roberts smith case will go on for ages but he made a statement to the media saying that he has never run from a fight. It can be seen YouTube. I googled Ben Roberts smith statement to the media youtube. I watch channel 7 news and their report is there. I think he made the statement so the media can now leave him alone. He has to be the fittest 48 year old in the world. Lots of time in the gym I’d say..

Thanks, tim. What a tragedy.
Tim gallagher says
Accusations and court proceedings, where ben Roberts smith lost a defamation case seem to have dragged on forever. I suspect he would unemployable so his life would be on hold, prcs usn. The court case is expected to continue in June. He seems to be able to handle the pressure well whereas many people would be destroyed.

He and his SASR mates are tough dudes. Ditto the NZSAS (Apiata and Smith as examples).
somehistory says
Rep Chip Roy has introduced a bill to make it possible to take away citizenship and deport goons like her. It’s called the Mamdani Act.
James Lincoln says
Certainly sounds good to me, somehistory.
And that’s why it is unlikely to gain enough traction…
somehistory says
James, we may be surprised….he has been successful so far with the caucus to ban islime’s rules to enslave us all. Many others may join him in this too.
James Lincoln says
Hope so, somehistory.
Hope so…
