Iranian regime uses Visa-investor program to send operatives to U.S.

America’s EB-5 visa-investor program has opened a gateway for the Iranian regime’s operatives to infiltrate the U.S., a report by the Homeland Security Investigations division says.

Citing the report, U.S. Sen. Charles Grassley said EB-5 is vulnerable to the “export of sensitive technology and economic espionage,” as well as “investment fraud” and money laundering.

Grassley quoted the HSI memo as saying EB-5 “may be abused by operatives of the Iranian regime to infiltrate the United States.

“Two of the operatives allegedly ‘facilitate terrorism’ and are involved in an illegal procurement network that exports items to Iran for use by ‘secret’ Iranian government agencies.”

According to the memo, one of the operatives acted as a representative for an Iranian front company allegedly run by an individual associated with the Iranian regime’s Revolutionary Guard.
