Feds Raid Newport Mansion, Arrest Businessman Accused Of Routing U.S. Technology To Iran

Federal authorities arrested 63 year old Newport Coast technology executive Jamshid Ghomi during an early-morning operation at his luxury Orange County residence on Wednesday, according to the NY Post.

He faces federal charges related to alleged violations of U.S. sanctions against Iran.

Investigators claim Ghomi orchestrated a long-running scheme to obtain American-made networking and computer equipment and funnel it to customers in Iran, including organizations tied to the country's military and nuclear sectors. According to prosecutors, the operation generated millions of dollars and relied on overseas intermediaries and shell companies to conceal the equipment's final destination.

The NY Post writes that authorities allege that, over many years, Ghomi acquired restricted technology from U.S. suppliers and routed shipments through third countries before they reached Iran. The government says the equipment was ultimately delivered to numerous Iranian businesses and state-affiliated entities, some of which were already subject to U.S. sanctions.

Agents executed a search warrant at Ghomi's residence before taking him into custody. Federal officials are also examining possible financial crimes, including money laundering and tax-related offenses. Court filings allege that his business brought in substantial revenue while relatively little income was reported to tax authorities.

U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli said the case reflects the government's effort to enforce sanctions laws and pursue both criminal penalties and the forfeiture of assets connected to the alleged conduct.

He concluded: “Our nation’s laws prohibiting doing business with one of the world’s largest state sponsors of terrorism must be enforced and obeyed.”

Mole People? What Are These Individuals Doing In New York Sewers?

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity,

New York City's vast underground network has become the unlikely focus of fresh alarm. Surveillance footage shared widely online shows teams of men lifting manhole covers in the middle of the night, descending into the sewers with flashlights, tools, and protective gear, then resurfacing hours later.

Police have investigated multiple such episodes, particularly in Brooklyn, yet their public message remains the same: no known threat to safety.

That reassurance has failed to settle nerves in a city still scarred by past attacks and struggling under years of unchecked migration and progressive governance.

Mole people? Treasure hunters? Something else?

Police are investigating a string of bizarre incidents involving mysterious groups of people entering and exiting New York City sewers through manholes in the dead of night.

When groups operate with apparent coordination in critical infrastructure after dark, the quick dismissal only fuels suspicion.

The pattern emerged in recent weeks. In Gravesend, Brooklyn, footage captured one group removing a manhole cover on McDonald Avenue. Several men in waders and boots emerged around 2 a.m. after hours below ground.

A separate incident in Williamsburg saw another group enter a manhole near Bedford and Hayward around 1 a.m. and exit roughly two and a half hours later. An earlier sighting in Astoria, Queens, showed similar behavior.

Who are these people dropping into New York's sewer system?

Witnesses describe purposeful movement, gear suited for extended time in filthy, hazardous conditions, and vehicles staged nearby. The New York Police Department responded by sending its Emergency Service Unit and Canine Unit underground to inspect the tunnels.

The Department of Environmental Protection also inspected and reported no damage to equipment. Officials stated they found nothing nefarious and floated the possibility that the individuals were simply urban explorers or treasure hunters.

Videos of the incidents spread rapidly, prompting widespread questions about motives and security.

Public reaction has been blunt. Many see organized teams operating in a sanctuary city that has taken in large numbers of unvetted arrivals. The same online conversation that once focused on "mole people" quickly shifted toward fears of reconnaissance, sabotage, or terrorism.

Past terror attacks on New York infrastructure and the reality of foreign actors probing soft targets make the casual "no threat" line ring hollow to those paying attention.

Authorities correctly note that unauthorized entry into the sewer system is illegal and extremely dangerous. Toxic gases, flooding, collapses, and confined spaces turn it into a death trap for the unprepared.

Yet the absence of swift arrests or visible escalation to federal agencies has left residents wondering whether political optics or stretched resources are slowing a fuller response.

New York's sewer network stretches for thousands of miles beneath streets, businesses, and sensitive sites. It is not some abstract curiosity. Coordinated nighttime access by unidentified groups equipped for prolonged underground movement is exactly the kind of activity that should trigger a serious security posture.

The city's leadership, shaped by years of Democratic Socialist priorities and open-border policies, has repeatedly shown greater interest in managing narratives than confronting hard security realities.

Coverage from major outlets has documented at least three recent nighttime incidents across Brooklyn and Queens, with police maintaining their assessment even as footage continues to circulate.

Infrastructure protection should come first. Cities should not be left guessing about teams disappearing into vital systems while officials rush to label concerns as overblown. Here, the default seems to be reassurance before transparency.

Residents in the affected neighborhoods have voiced what many feel: this does not look like casual scavenging. It looks like preparation. Whether the goal is valuables, mapping, or something darker remains unknown. That is precisely the problem.

Trump Says Accountability Is Coming Over The 'Rigged' 2020 Election

In a new, wide-ranging interview on "Pod Force One" with Miranda Devine, President Donald Trump is saying out loud what he says a growing body of evidence increasingly supports: the 2020 election was rigged, the people responsible are known, and something is coming for them.

Trump was unambiguous. "We had a rigged election," he told Devine. "I used to say that a year and a half ago, the election was rigged. And the cameras would literally turn off. Yeah. And the anchor would say, 'Sir, you're not allowed to say that.' Now nobody ever turns off the camera because it's been proven to be rigged."

Trump added, "Look at what happened in Georgia. Look at all the stuff that we found out. It was a rigged election. Biden lost in a landslide."

Trump went further, connecting the consequences of that election and the disasters that followed, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which, Trump says, "would have never happened" had he still been in office. And, of course, there was Biden's border crisis, which resulted in, by Trump's count, 25 million illegal immigrants into the United States in four years, many of whom, he said, were criminals.

"And fentanyl deaths," Devine pointed out.

"Yeah. He was the worst president," Trump argued. "And we were laughed at all over the world as a country. We're not laughed at anymore. We have the hottest country anywhere in the world."

Devine pressed him directly on the accountability for what happened in the 2020 election. "So someone has to be punished, though, for that," she said. "So how do you do that?"

"Well, you don't have to punish them all," he said. "I'd rather not get into it. Let's see what happens. The election was rigged. We know who rigged the election. We know it. We know everything now. You know, we have information that nobody thought was possible. But when you get to office, all of a sudden, people start giving you things."

He knows what's coming... listen closely. 👀

TRUMP:
We had a rigged election, we can't have rigged elections

DEVINE:
So someone has to be punished for that... how do you do that?

TRUMP:
I don't want to get into it...

DEVINE:
Are you confident that something will happen?

Trump's comments may keep the issue alive, but this is hardly the first time voters have been told that major accountability is just around the corner.

FBI Director Kash Patel appeared on Fox News' Sunday Morning Futures in April and delivered a statement that left little room for interpretation. "We are going to be making arrests, and it's coming, and I promise you, it's coming soon," Patel told host Maria Bartiromo.

Bartiromo had been skeptical of all the claims that accountability was actually coming. "President Trump - he says this repeatedly - that the election was rigged in 2020. I mean, he says it all the time. We all know that. And it's almost getting lost because he says it so much. You've been at the FBI for 14 months now. Have you done anything about that? And do you have anything to tell us about that?"

Patel said the FBI has spent the past year uncovering records and restricted case files that he claims were deliberately hidden within the bureau. According to Patel, investigators now have all the evidence they need and are working with Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche and DOJ prosecutors to pursue accountability.

While offering few specifics, Patel signaled that the investigation is entering a new phase. "We've got all the information we need," Patel said, promising that more prosecutions are on the way.

Monica Crowley, the U.S. government's chief of protocol, added another layer a month later. "He did win in a landslide, and we will soon be able to give evidence about that," Crowley said.

The allegations are serious, but public fatigue has built up around them, too. Americans have been promised developments before and are still waiting for something to be done. If this story is going anywhere, it will need to move from repeated promises to something concrete.

The Spurs have a "serious problem" if Karl-Anthony Towns can build on his Game 1 dominance for the rest of the NBA Finals.

Jose Alvarado’s first thought when Jalen Brunson hobbled off the court and went to the locker room echoed what every Knicks fan was thinking.
