California tech CEO arrested for allegedly supplying equipment to Iranian nuclear programs: DOJ

An Orange County, California mansion allegedly owned by Iranian-U.S. dual citizen Jamshid Ghomi,

A California tech company CEO was arrested for allegedly supplying U.S. equipment to Iran’s nuclear and military establishment.

Jamshid Ghomi, 63, a dual Iranian and U.S. citizen residing in Newport Coast, Calif., is charged with conspiracy to violate the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), the U.S. Department of Justice announced Wednesday.

Ghomi allegedly procured “sophisticated U.S.-origin networking, security, and encryption equipment for Iranian customers — including the Iranian regime’s nuclear and military establishment,” according to a U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) press release.

“As alleged, Ghomi enriched himself by supplying U.S. technology to the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran and other sanctioned entities responsible for Iran’s nuclear program,” Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg said, per the statement.

“The National Security Division will hold accountable those who violate our laws to further Iran’s nuclear ambitions,” he said

Ghomi moved over $15 million from Iran into his U.S. bank accounts and a separate escrow account, falsely reporting the money to the IRS as a foreign inheritance, according to the DOJ.

His federal tax returns reported almost no income with his highest reported income in any year being $20,684. He allegedly claimed the tax break intended for low- to moderate-income working individuals and families, in seven different tax years while reporting more than $1.7 million in mortgage interest and $1.25 million in state and local real-estate taxes on his federal income tax returns.

According to the DOJ, he used the proceeds from his “sanctions-evasion scheme” to fund the construction of a multi-million dollar Orange Country mansion.

CENTCOM blasts Iran’s airport attack denial after deadly strike on Kuwait

U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) on Wednesday rebuked Iran’s claim that damage at Kuwait International Airport in an attack hours earlier was caused by American operations instead of Tehran.

“CLAIM: Iran claimed today that it did not attack the passenger terminal at Kuwait International Airport and damage was instead caused by a U.S. missile interceptor. Totally FALSE,” CENTCOM said in a post on X.

CENTCOM said Iran was responsible for the attack, alleging it used drones in what it described as a “calculated and unjustified” operation.

“TRUTH: Iran struck the civilian airport with drones in a deliberate, calculated, and unjustified attack,” it said.

Earlier in the day, U.S. ally Kuwait said its airport was targeted during “brutal and ongoing Iranian attacks using ballistic missiles and drones.”

The strike reportedly killed one person, injured others, and damaged critical infrastructure, including diplomatic missions, according to a statement from the country’s foreign ministry on X.
