Reza Olangian, a US-Iranian citizen was convicted yesterday in Federal court for trying to buy surface-to-air missiles for Iran according to Reuters;
Olangian, who became a U.S. citizen in 1999, was arrested in Estonia in October 2012 and subsequently extradited to the United States following a sting operation orchestrated by the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration.
Prosecutors said that in 2012, Olangian met in Ukraine with a DEA informant posing as a Russian weapons broker to arrange for the purchase of surface-to-air missiles and various military aircraft components.
In recorded conversations and emails, Olangian described his plans to acquire the missiles and parts and smuggle them into Iran, for whose government he was purchasing them, from Afghanistan or from another neighboring country, prosecutors said.
This was his second attempt to buy missiles for the Iranians. I guess there won’t be a third attempt.

Reza Olangian – you’re busted scumbag.
Reza Olangian is a traitor to his “adopted” country.
Reza Olangian – what we do with moles in Texas? Feed them to our dogs. Raw and kicking.
Can we put Reza Olangian down as volunteering for the ordinance testing dummy now? Then we can really see the difference between a 9mm and a .45ACP…
Amen, then throw whats left in a ditch for the pigs!
Nothing too drastic. Just bury him in a hole up to his waist……head first…
By prosecuting him…..that’s racist
I hope that he wasn’t profiled in any way.
Cocksucker.
I don’t get this. The oBaMa regime has paid Iran gazillions in cold cash to help that terrorist nation develop the essentials for nuclear weapons. Is the regime pissed b/c it wanted to secretly do what this guy did? I don’t get it. Stupid Iran. All it had to do was tell Kerry that it would withdraw from the so-called treaty w/ the US if it did not get the delivery means for its nukes.
Looks like he’s going to be the “fat bottomed boy” in the federal poundhimintheass lockup when Bubba, Thor, Julio and Mr. “Tiny” get to meet him.
Hope he likes ghey whey, cockmeat sammiches, tubesteak, nutbutter and manmayo… if he doesn’t now, he soon will!
So does this mean the Iran nuke treaty is cancelled? Why didn’t he go to Norkiland to buy nukes? They wouldn’t tell anyone, would they?
I hope he repeatedly falls up and down each and every flight of stairs in whatever prison he ends up in.

Hey, didn’t you guys get the memo? According to Marie the Ditz over at the State Department, what we need to fix the problems in the Middle East are MORE JOBS! This guy was just trying to help out by creating a few by starting an import-export business.
