Alleged Weapons Deals and International Links
Investigators claim the suspect was involved in arranging shipments of Iranian-made drones, bombs, fuses, and large quantities of ammunition. Some deals were reportedly valued in the tens of millions of dollars and linked to Sudan’s military amid its ongoing conflict.
Authorities also allege she maintained communication with individuals connected to Iran’s intelligence apparatus and used international routes—such as Turkey and the Middle East—to facilitate the transactions and avoid detection.
