Shamim Mafi, a 44-year-old Iranian entrepreneur residing in Woodland Hills, California, was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX) for allegedly trafficking weapons on behalf of Tehran. According to the U.S. Attorney for the Central District of California, Mafi is accused of facilitating transactions involving Iranian drones, explosives, and millions of rounds of ammunition destined for Sudan. She faces charges under 50 U.S.C. § 1705, which prohibits such foreign transactions. If convicted, Mafi could face a maximum sentence of 20 years in federal prison. Mafi, who became a lawful permanent resident of the U.S. in 2016, is expected to make her initial court appearance at the U.S. District Court in downtown Los Angeles. She is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
