Glamorous Iranian 'spy' sisters accused of infiltrating American big tech to steal secrets

A pair of Iranian sisters has been accused of acting as spies on behalf of the regime to steal secrets from American big tech.

A federal grand jury has indicted Samaneh Ghandali, 41, her sister Soroor Ghandali, 32, and Mohammadjavad Khosravi, 40, on charges of stealing highly sensitive trade secrets from Google and other major technology firms and funneling the data to Iran.

The trio, all residents of San Jose, were arrested in mid-February and hauled into federal court the same day, according to prosecutors.

Authorities said the alleged scheme unfolded quietly inside some of the world's most powerful tech companies, where the defendants held trusted roles giving them access to cutting-edge systems.

Trump: Iran gave US a present worth a ton of money, related to oil, gas and Hormuz

US President Donald Trump says that Iran gave him a “present” worth a “tremendous amount of money” related to the Strait of Hormuz and matters of oil and gas.

Asked by reporters in the Oval Office why he trusts the Iranians, he first insists that he doesn’t trust anyone before revealing, “They did something yesterday that was amazing — they gave us a present… that arrived today.”

“It was a very big present worth a tremendous amount of money, and I’m not going to tell you what that present is, but it was a very significant prize,” Trump says.

“They gave it to us, and they said they were going to give it. That meant one thing to me. [That we’re] dealing with the right people… They’re the only ones [who] could have done it.”

“It wasn’t nuclear related, it was oil and gas related,” he adds when pressed to clarify the nature of the gift.

Asked if the gift is related to the flow in the Strait of Hormuz, Trump responds, “Yeah.” Asked if the US will control Hormuz after the war, Trump says, “We’ll have control of anything we want.”

“I think we’re going to end [the war],” he adds.

Trump quips that when he told his defense secretary and military chief that he thinks the Iran war will be settled soon, the latter two were upset because they want to keep fighting.

Iran issues its largest-ever currency denomination as accelerating inflation ravages a financial sector deemed a 'Ponzi scheme' even before the war

Inflation has worsened and apparently is so bad now the government issued its largest-ever currency denomination: the 10 million rial note (equivalent to about $7).

The new currency went into circulation last week, according to the Financial Times, and comes just a month after the prior record holder, the 5 million rial, came out.

Trump approved Iran operation after Netanyahu argued for joint killing of Khamenei, sources say

Sources told Reuters that a private phone call between the Israeli prime minister, in which he stressed that Trump could 'make history' by toppling the ayatollah regime and take revenge for Iranian efforts to assassinate him, was central in Trump's decision to strike when he did

March 23rd, 22PM

Less than 48 hours before the U.S.-Israeli strike on Iran began, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke by phone to President Donald Trump about the reasons for launching the kind of complex, far-off war the American leader once had campaigned against.

Both Trump and Netanyahu knew from intelligence briefings earlier in the week that Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and his key lieutenants would soon meet at his compound in Tehran, making them vulnerable to a "decapitation strike" – an attack against a country's top leaders often used by Israelis but traditionally less so by the United States.

But new intelligence suggested that the meeting had been moved forward to Saturday morning from Saturday night, according to three people briefed on the call.

The call has not been previously reported.

Netanyahu, ‌determined to move forward with an operation he had urged for decades, argued that there might never be a better chance to kill Khamenei and to avenge previous Iranian efforts to assassinate Trump, these people said. Those included a murder-for-hire plot allegedly orchestrated by Iran in 2024, when Trump was a candidate.

By the time the call took place, Trump had already approved the idea of the United States carrying out a military operation against Iran but had not yet decided when or under what circumstances the United States would get involved, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive internal deliberations.

The three sources briefed on the call said they believed it, along with the intelligence showing a closing window to kill Iran's leader, was a catalyst for Trump's final decision to order the military on February 27 to move ahead with Operation Epic Fury.

The first bombs struck on Saturday morning, February 28. Trump announced that evening that Khamenei was dead.
