Iranian-American Arrested for Alleged Attempted Transfer of F-35 Data to Iran

naturalized U.S. citizen of Iranian origin was arrested on charges of attempting to ship F-35 technical data to Iran. Mozaffar Khazaee was detained on January 9 at Newark International Airport on his way to Tehran, The Navy Times reported today.

Khazaee was charged with “transporting, transmitting and transferring in interstate or foreign commerce goods obtained by theft, conversion, or fraud.” The crime carries a maximum 10 years imprisonment.

Khazaee, an employee of Pratt and Whitney, was allegedly going to ship “numerous boxes of documents consisting of sensitive technical manuals, specification sheets, and other proprietary material for the F-35.” (The Navy Times, 13 January)

F-35 is the fifth-generation fighter, which is expected to be the backbone of American air superiority over the next several decades.

    1. There is no reason for creating "false-flag" operation. Nobody benefits from it.

    2. It would not be the first false flag operation. The American regime already manufactured another case against an Iranian American person, here: http://www.uskowioniran.com/2012/10/iranian-american-pleads-guilty-to.html
