Neighbors allege LA townhouse was a front for Iranian arms deals, with late-night visitors
Neighbors say Shamim Mafi, 44, operated a Woodland Hills townhouse as a front for deals on Iranian drones, bombs and ammunition bound for Sudan, with suspicious visitors and late-night activity; the FBI raided her home and she was arrested for brokering weapons deals tied to Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence. Court records indicate she used an Oman-registered firm, Atlas International Business, to facilitate transactions, including a contract worth more than $70 million for Mohajer-6 drones. The operation reportedly violated UN arms embargo rules amid Sudan’s civil war.
