January 1, Trump Was Right: DOJ’s Staggering Seizure of Millions Exposes Iranian Oil Empires Funding Terror Networks!

Wyatt’s Take

• Trump’s DOJ slams Iranian oil smugglers hard.
• Protects our banks from terror funding.
• Shuts down regime’s dirty money tricks.

The Department of Justice filed two civil forfeiture complaints against over $15.3 million tied to an illicit Iranian oil network.

The money helped the National Iranian Oil Company, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and IRGC Quds Force dodge U.S. sanctions.

Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani runs companies and folks selling Iranian oil while hiding ties to Iran.

IRGC and IRGC-QF are Foreign Terrorist Organizations.

Shamkhani is son of Ali Shamkhani, top advisor to Iran’s Supreme Leader and ex-head of National Defense Council.

His network uses vessels, firms, and fronts to launder billions from Iranian and Russian oil sales, mostly to China.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, we have ZERO tolerance for foreign actors using the U.S. financial system to prop up our nation’s enemies,” said Attorney General Pamela Bondi. “This defendant was allegedly supporting the IRGC with millions of dollars in violation of U.S. sanctions — he will now pay a heavy price.”

“Today’s civil forfeiture complaints illustrate the Criminal Division’s steadfast mission to prevent Iranian-backed shadow companies from using the U.S. financial system to support terrorist organizations, in violation of U.S. sanctions against Iran,” said Assistant Attorney General Tysen A. Duva.

“Shamkhani runs a vast network of shell companies used to evade U.S. sanctions and launder funds for the Iranian regime and its terrorist proxies,” said Assistant Attorney General for National Security John A. Eisenberg.

About $13 million went to Wellbred Capital Pte, Ltd. and Wellbred Trading DMCC, run secretly by Shamkhani for his network.

Over $2.4 million targeted Sea Lead Shipping Pte, Ltd. and affiliate for Shamkhani’s shipping needs.

“We will continue to aggressively enforce U.S. sanctions against the Iranian regime that has sowed instability and violence in the Middle East,” said U.S. Attorney Jeanine Ferris Pirro for the District of Columbia.

FBI, HSI, and IRS-CI helped investigate.

Stand strong with law enforcement keeping terrorists from our money system. Share this with neighbors who value safe streets and strong borders.
