If you had any doubts about Biden being a total shitbag, this should clear things up.
The Biden administration, in its last days in office, secretly entered into a sweetheart settlement with an alleged Iranian front group, with the government agreeing to relinquish a $174 million interest in Manhattan real estate that it previously seized for prohibited links to the terror state.
When The Daily Wire revealed that the Manassas Mosque outside of D.C. pledged its loyalty to the “martyred” Supreme Leader of Iran, numerous officials called for a crackdown on the mosque, which is funded by the Alavi Foundation.
Alavi was originally funded by the shah of Iran prior to the revolution, then taken over by figures linked to the Islamic hardline regime. For years, it used front groups to hide the forbidden relationship, the DOJ said in a 2008 forfeiture action against the Assa Corp., which the DOJ said was an offshore front group used by Alavi.
It emerged this week that the Biden administration agreed to settle a long-running case on favorable terms to the foundation – a decision that could now contribute to increased pro-mullah activity inside America during wartime.
A federal court document shows that the court approved a settlement agreement on January 17, 2025, three days before Biden left office. On March 11, 2026, Judge Loretta A. Preska agreed to “seal the Order in its entirety,” “not only from the public, but also from any litigant that is not a party to the Settlement Agreement.”
……..It would transfer assets to a new foundation, called the Amir Kabir Foundation, which shares most of the same leaders as Alavi. It would agree to pay victims of Iranian terror who had sued the foundation – but slowly, and mostly out of proceeds that come from the government agreeing to give back a portion of the building that was seized for its links to Iran.
The terms “provide for the payment or release of a total of $318 million to the United States government and the Judgment Creditors,” but “a majority of the Payment will be in exchange for the 40% partnership interest in the Fifth Avenue Company previously held by Petitioner’s former partner, Assa, an entity determined to be indirectly owned by Bank Melli, an Iranian bank. The Assa Interest is now held by the United States government,” the charity document said.
The Alavi Foundation owns $300 million in real estate, including properties around the nation’s capital and the remaining 60% interest in the Fifth Avenue skyscraper. The 40% interest that had previously been seized is worth $174 million.
That means instead of paying what it owes, it is seemingly largely meeting its obligations thanks to a gift from the U.S. government. To fund the settlement, the foundation will be able to use rental income from Assa’s share of the building “that has accumulated over the course of nearly sixteen years of litigation and which is held in a bank account controlled by the U.S. Marshals Service,” the filing said.
It said the terms of the agreement were agreed to by New York Attorney General Letitia James, who would monitor the new foundation for five years.
……..In 2009, the then-head of the Alavi Foundation, Farshid Jahedi, was indicted for “allegedly destroying documents subpoenaed by a grand jury investigating the Alavi Foundation’s relationship with Bank Melli Iran and the ownership of a Manhattan office building,” the Department of Justice said.
But Barack Obama gave lenient treatment: In 2010, Jahedi pleaded guilty and was sentenced to only three months in prison and a $3,000 fine on two felony counts.
The Alavi Foundation funded the Manassas Mosque 30 miles outside of D.C., which held an event “Honoring Our Leader Shaheed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei” after the ayatollah was killed during Operation Epic Fury.
In 2023, nine GOP congressmen wrote to the Biden administration’s attorney general and director of national intelligence, saying that the Manassas mosque received $200,000 from the Alavi Foundation and “a recent video inside the Mosque showed it is adorned with pictures of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps … This appears to be part of a network of regime-sponsored mosques acting as agents for a foreign adversary.”
The Manassas Mosque’s imam is Abolfazl Bahram Nahidian, who in 2010 said that Israel was behind 9/11, and who is currently in Iran. His daughter-in-law has been behind much of the anti-Israel activism in D.C., and posted to Instagram a photo that said “Soon we will avenge (your death) from the Zionists and the Americans… They’ve dug their own graves.”
In response to The Daily Wire’s reporting, Rep. Keith Self (R-TX), a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, said “The enemy is inside the gates.”
“We need to get them the hell out of our country,” Rep. Randy Fine (R-FL) said.
Wonder if the Big Guy got 10% for the deal.
The Manassas terrorist training center (aka mosque) has a few prominent Dem pals.
Mohammad Ali Elahi is a friend of Kammy Harris, Debbie Dingell, Gretchen Whitmer, John Kerry, and Sen. Gary C. Peters (D-Mich.)
Both Obama and Biden had the same approach to muzzie terrorists; pay them jizya like good little dhimmis.
