Iran has recently suffered quite a beating at the hands of the Israelis and the United States Air Force and Navy. But the mullahs are still in charge. Iran is still a primary state sponsor of terrorism, and now, while they may not be on the cusp of being a nuclear power, thanks to an appropriate application of high explosives, they are still a threat to the Western world.
Case in point: Two people have been busted at a Los Angeles house that federal agents say was an Iranian human-smuggling operation.
Federal officials arrested two people on Friday at a Los Angeles house tied to a suspected Iranian human smuggling network said to have been "repeatedly used to harbor illegal entrants linked to terrorism."
Customs and Border Protection (CBP) announced the arrests in an X post on Friday, saying that the operation was part of a broader national security effort involving multiple federal agencies.
"CBP executed a federal search warrant today at a human smuggling hub in Los Angeles tied to national security threats," the agency said. "Two individuals were arrested during the operation, which was led by CBP’s Special Response Team with support from Border Patrol tactical units and Air and Marine Operations."
