An Iranian agent named Shamim Mafi has been arrested by the United States for involvement in arms trafficking. Mafi is accused of brokering the sale of Iranian-manufactured Mohajer-6 drones, bombs, bomb fuses, and millions of rounds of ammunition to Sudan. The arrest represents a significant enforcement action as the Trump administration continues its pressure campaign against Iran's military exports. Details of the operation and the specific charges are still emerging.
