Private Investigator Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali fake Federal agents in Washington DC were deep cover hit team for Iranian Quds Force

US investigators stumble onto an Iranian assassination plot in Washington DC. Private Investigator Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali fake Federal agents in Washington DC were deep cover hit team for Iranian Quds Force. Follow the Money, where did these two mooks get thousands of dollars to spend on Secret Service Agents? Investigators alleged Arian Taherzadeh, 40, and Haider Ali, 35, posed as various officers and employees of the U.S. government, including members of federal law enforcement agencies, since February 2020 and duped actual federal officers into believing their guise. Iranian and Pakistani Visas were also confiscated from Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali. They are each charged with one count of false impersonation of a federal officer and have yet to enter a plea.Law enforcement sources told CBS News that investigators are looking into the possibility that the two suspects have ties to Iranian intelligence including to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, an elite component of the Iranian military that conducts special operations, or the Quds force. 

“Arian Taherzadeh and Haider Ali were not legitimate law enforcement of any kind. Yet they possessed illegal firearms and ammunition; fraudulent badges and other law enforcement identification; and surveillance and forced entry tools,” prosecutors said in court. The two men accused of impersonating federal agents over the course of several years will remain in jail pending a detention hearing Friday, a federal magistrate judge ruled. Taherzadeh is accused of providing Secret Service officers and agents with rent-free apartments — including a penthouse worth over $40,000 a year — along with iPhones, surveillance systems, a drone, a television, a generator, a gun case and other policing tools, according to court documents. In one instance, Taherzadeh offered to purchase a $2,000 assault rifle for a Secret Service agent who is assigned to protect the first lady, prosecutors said. Four suspended Secret Service employees were duped in fake agents case. Two of the four suspended Secret Service officials are agents, and two are uniformed division officers who work as guards to White House gate.

FOLLOW THE MONEY: Prosecutors said FBI agents also found a machine to create and program personal identification verification cards, which, if programmed correctly, can be used to access sensitive law enforcement computers. The case was thrust into the public spotlight earlier this month when more than a dozen FBI agents raided a luxury apartment building in southwest Washington. Prosecutors said the two had tricked actual Secret Service officers and offered them expensive apartments and gifts in an effort to “ingratiate” themselves and integrate with law enforcement agents, including an agent assigned to protect the first lady. During the search, authorities found body armor, gas masks, zip ties, handcuffs, equipment to break through doors, drones, radios and police training manuals in five apartments in the building. 

The two men, private Investigator Arian Taherzadeh, and Haider Ali had surveillance equipment and a high-power telescope, and the FBI found evidence that they may have been creating surveillance devices, prosecutors said. The two men used a cover business called United States Special Police, LLC. Prosecutors said Taherzadeh, 40, and Ali, 35, applied to be armed Special Police Officers (SPO) in D.C., set up a security company, and had a trove of police department insignia, leading them to believe the two men are at great risk of flight and a serious threat to the community. The FBI also found several firearms — including handguns and ammunition with rifle pieces and sniper scopes, according to prosecutors. Taherzadehw as charged in July 2013 with Strangulation Resulting in Wounding, which is a Class 6 Felony, and one count of Assault and Battery on a Family Member, a Class 1 Misdemeanor. The person he faced the assault and battery charge against was his wife, noted only as ‘M.H.’ in the court document.
