Seterah Heshmat seems to be a young woman who is studying her MBA at the University of Canada West in Vancouver at first sight. But beneath this fairly familiar guise there are links to a complex of criminal actions and relations with some of the most dangerous threats to the global security. Seterah Hehsmat is not just any student; she is a part of a group led by Abbas Sharif AlAskari and Mohsen Fallahian, involved in Iran’s regime, money laundry & illegal weaponization.

The Abbas-Seterah Connection: Love Turns to Crime: The Dark Side of Love

•Financial Funnel: Seterah’s MBA fees, monthly allowances, and luxurious lifestyle, according to the lawsuit, are provided by Abbas AlAskari’s money laundering.

•Key Role: She has allegedly employed her influence and connections to facilitate money and hush money for Abbas whose unlawful business is transnational in nature.

•Digital Espionage: Accompanying this, Abbas and Seterah are said to use a technologically enabled encrypted communication to keep their operations secret.

But who is Abbas Sharif AlAskari? To understand the involvement of Seterah Heshmat, one has to swim in the sea of lies that Abbas created.

Abbas Sharif AlAskari: The Man with Many Faces and Passports

Abbas Sharif AlAskari is not just an ordinary conman; he’s a chameleon with three passports (Iranian, Iraqi, and Dominican) and a legacy of shell companies. He has recently launched a shell money laundering company in the UK, viz. Abza Group Ltd., on his Dominica passport. 

Oil Smuggling and Sanction Evasion

1. The Bandar Abbas Operation: Abbas Sharif AlAskari’s Israeli network’s associate, Mohsen Fallahian, manage oil tanks in Bandar Abbas, a key Iranian port. They employ a scheme involving Panamanian-registered vessels to transport Iranian crude oil to Iraq, where forged documents pass it off as Iraqi-origin oil. This allows them to sidestep international sanctions and profit massively.

2. Global Reach: Abbas’s Dominican passport facilitates unrestricted travel across Europe, making laundering illicit oil profits almost effortless.

Financial Fraud

1. Abbas cons investors by proposing fake ventures in oil, gas, gold, and real estate. His modus operandi includes taking advance payments under the guise of securing political permissions and vanishing with the money.

2. UK Money Laundering Scheme:

   1. Companies as Fronts: "London Surface Design Limited" and "London Heritage Stone Limited" are his primary tools for washing dirty money.

   2. Bank Accounts: Monzo and Lloyds are reportedly used by Abbas for laundering money under false pretenses.

A Family Affair: The AlAskari Network

Ali Sharif AlAskari: Abbas’s Father and the Architect

Abbas’s father, Ali Sharif AlAskari, carries a legacy of political manipulation and violence. As a prominent member of the Islamic Dawa Party—implicated in the 1983 bombing of the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait—Ali Sharif operates with dual Iranian and Iraqi passports under different names.

1. Oil Kingpin: He oversees the Bandar Abbas oil operations, with profits funding Iran's proxy wars and terror campaigns.

2. Political Influence: His deep ties to Iran’s regime make him untouchable in the Middle East while raising international alarms.

Soraya AlAskari: The Canadian Connection

Abbas’s sister, Soraya, resides in Canada and serves as a vital cog in their money laundering machinery. Using local connections and advanced laundering techniques, she ensures funds flow smoothly across borders without raising suspicion. Canadian authorities are now closing in on her, uncovering her role in this sprawling network.

Iran’s AI Arsenal: The Role of Abbas’s Brother-in-Law

In Canada, Abbas’s sister is married to a professor of Artificial Intelligence at a prestigious university. This individual’s groundbreaking research in object-target detection allegedly feeds Iranian drones used to strike Israel.

1. Dual Purposes of AI:

   1. Legitimately, it advances academic innovation.

   2. Illegitimately, it powers drones targeting Israeli civilians, escalating tensions in the region.

The Meghdad Tabrizian Connection: Money Laundering Meets Espionage

Abbas’s other sister in the UK is married to Meghdad Tabrizian, an individual with direct ties to the Iranian regime. Together, they:

1. Create Front Companies: These include construction and design firms like "London Surface Design Limited."

2. Launder Money: Illicit oil profits flow through these companies into "clean" accounts.

3. Operate as Spies: Meghdad, known as the “eyes and ears” of Ali Fallahian (former Iranian intelligence chief), conducts espionage activities across Europe.

Mohsen Fallahian: The Enforcer of the Empire

A Convicted Murderer

Mohsen Fallahian’s criminal record is as bloody as it is lengthy. Convicted of killing a plainclothes officer in Tehran, he has managed to escape justice by acquiring fake Turkish and Italian passports. Under these aliases, Mohsen:

1. Sells stolen oil alongside Abbas in Bandar Abbas.

2. Uses fraudulent Italian residency to evade international scrutiny.

Ties to Terror

Mohsen's operations directly fund Iranian-backed groups responsible for attacks in Israel, including the AI-powered drones developed with Abbas’s brother-in-law.

Unveiling the Process: How the Network Operates

1. Oil Smuggling:

   1. Iranian crude is disguised as Iraqi oil through forged documentation.

   2. Sold globally, generating billions in illicit revenue.

2. Money Laundering:

   1. Funds are funneled through front companies in Canada and the UK.

   2. Converted into legitimate assets or redistributed to fund terror networks.

3. Residency Fraud:

   1. Abbas, Mohsen, and their associates exploit connections within immigration systems to obtain fraudulent residencies, ensuring safe havens across Canada, the UK, and Italy.

4. Blackmail and Extortion:

   1. Abbas records women using micro-cameras, later using the footage to silence or extort them.

Israel under Attack: The Cost of Inaction

The drone attacks targeting Israel are not isolated events; they are the culmination of years of sophisticated planning, funded by this very network. These attacks:

1. Cause Civilian Casualties: Innocent lives are lost in strikes fueled by illicit oil profits and AI technology.

2. Escalate Regional Tensions: Israel’s security is jeopardized, forcing countermeasures that risk full-scale conflict.

The Way Forward: Exposing and Dismantling the Network

1. International Collaboration:

   1. Agencies in Canada, the UK, and Italy must join forces to trace and disrupt this network.

   2. Targeting their financial lifelines, such as oil tankers and front companies, is crucial.

2. Advanced Tracking Technologies:

   1. Implement AI-powered surveillance systems to monitor oil shipments and financial transactions.

3. Public Awareness:

   1. Informing the public about individuals like Abbas, Mohsen, and Seterah ensures vigilance against their schemes.

The Fight for Justice

The tangled web of deceit spun by Abbas Sharif AlAskari’s UK network, Mohsen Fallahian, Seterah Heshmat, and their associates is not just an affront to international law; it is a direct threat to peace and security. From Vancouver to Bandar Abbas, their operations exploit global systems to fund terror and perpetuate violence. The cost of complacency is far too great; let’s ensure justice isn’t another victim of this sinister empire.
