The two Iranian individuals—identified as Ahmadreza Mohammadi-Doostdar, a dual U.S.-Iranian citizen, and Majid Ghorbani, an Iranian citizen and resident of California—the Islamic Republic.
They were allegedly acting on behalf of the government of the Islamic Republic of #Iran by conducting covert surveillance of Israeli and Jewish facilities in the United States, & collecting identifying information about American citizens and U.S. nationals who are members of #MEK
According to an FBI affidavit, Doostdar on July 21, 2017, allegedly surveilled and photographed security features at the Rohr Chabad House — a branch of Lubavitch Chabad of Illinois that serves students at the University of Chicago-Illinois.
That December, Doostdar allegedly paid Ghorbani $2,000 in cash and received 28 photographs with names attached that Ghorbani is accused of taking of demonstrators at a Sept. 20, 2017, MEK rally against the Iranian government in New York City, the FBI said.
The pictures and a handwritten receipt for $2,000 were allegedly found concealed in Doostdar’s luggage as he traveled through an airport in the United States to return to #Iran, the FBI affidavit said.
U.S. authorities accused the men of continued to work together this year, with Ghorbani allegedly traveling to Iran in about March after telling Doostdar he was going there to conduct an “in-person briefing”,
and discussing clandestine methods to provide to Iran photographs Ghorbani took of people who attended an MEK-affiliated Iran Freedom Convention for Human Rights in Washington, D.C., on May 4
