Here again we see what nearly everyone in the West prefers to deny: that Islam is political. She didn’t just change her private religious beliefs. Monica Witt’s conversion to Islam meant that she became a citizen of the umma, the global Islamic community, and she apparently considered that to mean that she was an enemy of the United States. And so she has ended up being accused of espionage on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran. If she had never converted to Islam, she might still be a loyal Air Force officer.
“Air Force intel vet allegedly spiraled into Iran’s terror underworld: Timeline of deceit, hunt for spy suspect,” by Peter D’Abrosca, Fox News, May 17, 2026:
The FBI announced on Thursday that it is offering $200,000 for information that leads to the arrest and prosecution of a former active-duty U.S. Air Force intelligence specialist and special agent for the Air Force Office of Special Investigations who is accused of espionage.
Monica Witt, 47, also known to use the aliases Fatemah Zarah and Narges Witt, was federally indicted in Washington, D.C. in 2018 and charged with espionage. She is accused of defecting to Iran and turning over classified information to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC)….
Witt was born in El Paso, Texas, and enlisted in the Air Force in 1997, shortly after her 18th birthday. According to the New York Times, she was assigned to an RC-135 reconnaissance airplane crew.
Her 2018 indictment says she was assigned to the U.S. Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California, between 1998 and 1999, where she learned Persian Farsi….
It was in February 2012, just before she graduated from George Washington University, that the government says Witt set her plans to betray the United States and defect to Iran in motion.
She traveled to Iran that month to attend the International Conference on Hollywoodism in Tehran, an anti-western event held during the Fajr International Film Festival each year “aimed at condemning American moral standards and promoting anti-U.S. propaganda,” according to the indictment.
During that trip, she is accused of providing her “bona fides” to the IRGC in order to establish that she was a credible source of American national defense intelligence and that she disclosed government secrets to them.
She was not invited to the Hollywoodism, but was allowed to speak anyway, according to The New York Times. The indictment says she “was identified as a U.S. veteran and made statements that were critical of the U.S. government, knowing these videos would be broadcast by Iranian media outlets.”
At the same time, her public conversion to Islam was filmed and broadcast on Iranian state television.
In May, at about the same time she received her graduate degree, the FBI reached out to Witt, telling her she was a prime target for recruitment by Iranian intelligence officials.
By then, it was too late.
Witt had become ensnared by a “spotter” — someone who recruits on behalf of a foreign intelligence service — in this case, Iran.
The indictment refers to the “spotter” as “Individual A,” named by The New York Times as Louisiana-born journalist turned naturalized Iranian citizen and state television broadcaster Marzieh Hashemi.
Hashemi allegedly traveled to the U.S., and along with Witt, filmed an anti-Western propaganda film that was later distributed in Iran….

why the hell did this american soldier convert to islàm ? maybe she enjoys living as a slave . perhaps even in the United States , rich economies have bred a poor mentality , which is one of the main reasons for their downfall .

One low ranking officer makes little difference in the grand scheme of things, however when there is a multitude of betrayer, it makes all the difference. How many more within the ranks are traitors to our country?
PRCS USN (ret) says
Many!
Muslim chaplains who represent ‘filthy kuffar’ U.S. troops, enlisted and officer alike in various specialties (of which the women wear military headgear atop their hijab [no niqabs or burqas, yet]).
The list is likely long.

What a surprise! Why else would anyone convert to islam unless that person hates Infidels, as well as the non-muslim country s/he lives in, in this case the good ole US of A?

It’s simple; Capital Punishment.
Huh?!? says
I read on this site of an Islamic woman in the US Army. She stated if she were ordered to fight against an Islamic enemy of the US, she would refuse. She needs to be removed from the Army and deported to the Islamic country of choice. The US and the West is not defending itself effectively against the Islamic invasion. Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition. Vote! Vote! Vote!
Taffy says
I say deport onlyafter they serve their 20 years in Leavenworth.

Agreed, Taffy.

Islam and its Muslims are a continuous, terroristic threat to women, children, and all Non-Muslims as taught in Islamic Law and in Islam’s Qur’an. Allah rewards Muslims, Terrorists of Allah, with a Garden Paradise when they kill and are killed in Jihad for Allah, war against Non-Muslims with MUSLIM MONEY and with MUSLIM LIVES to make Islam supreme. Allah in Qur’an 49:15 teaches, “Surely the believers[Muslims] are only those who believed in Allah and his messenger. They do not doubt, and they performed JIHAD with their MONEY and their LIVES for the sake of Allah. Those are the truthful.” See also Qur’an 2:191; 4:89, 91; 8:60; 9:5, 29, 111; 47:4; 48:29, etc.

A woman joining Islam is like a Turkey celebrating Thanksgiving. Burn your Burqas and Hijabs, they’re symbols of Islamic oppression,

In the not so distant pass (the 1050s to 1970s) miltary or government employees face long jail time or execution for working with the Soviet Union .It is time to use this on anyone especial a person in the miltary who took an oath .She travel to Iran a country that is a swore enemy of America working with them making her a traitor and breaking her miltary oath she should face a miltary court marshal and the death penalty. Make an example of her ,being a loyal Moslem in America in 2026 is like being a communist in 1950s it is not illegal but it should effect employment in trusted positions. Or being a Nazi sympathizer in America in the 1940s.

I read the headlines about this creepy female, but they said nothing about islime. Only that she is a spy.
Having seen several other ‘spy’ stories over the past several days regarding spying for china, I didn’t read of this one being for iran. Nor of her ‘conversion’ to evil.
The traitor and spy may be considered intelligent….learning farsi, etc…but she is profoundly stupid. If she had any “intelligence,” she left it at the agency.
Her iranian ‘friends’ see her as lower than a camel and without rights. What would her granny say?
David Lakatos says
Islam considers women lower than a goat.
owensgate says
Dishonorable discharge, strip her of citizenship, deport her to Iran.
Wellington says
What a loser.
David Lakatos says
Islam is a dictating totalitarian political theocracy—the very definition of a cult.
David Lakatos says
Oh yeah, they got these Muslims in the military spreading their disease.
David Grisez says
I first read about Monica Witt and her acts of treason in a Fox News article. The Fox News article made no mention of Islam. So in the comment section I wrote in the comments, “One big question that needs to be asked is Monica Witt a muslim”. I thought that this person must be a muslim to go to Iran and become a traitor against the United States.
