“Amin Hasanzadeh, an Iranian military vet…”All right. So Amin Hasanzadeh is a veteran of the military of the regime that forces its people to scream “Death to America” in mosques every Friday. When he first attempted to enter the United States, was any effort made to determine his loyalties or perspective? Almost certainly not. To have done so would have been “Islamophobic.”Hasanzadeh “is a visiting scholar at the University of Michigan.”Did the University of Michigan make any effort to determine whether or not he was an agent acting on behalf of the Islamic Republic of Iran? Again, almost certainly not, and for the same reason. Also: would the University of Michigan ever hire as a visiting scholar someone who publicly opposed jihad mass murder and the Sharia oppression of women? Of course not.“FBI: Michigan engineer sent confidential tech data to Iran,” by Sydney Dennen, Jerusalem Post, November 12, 2019 (thanks to the Geller Report):____________________________________________________________A Michigan man is now in FBI custody after being accused of stealing and sending confidential tech information to his brother who has contacts with Iran’s nuclear weapon industry.Amin Hasanzadeh, an Iranian military vet, is a visiting scholar at the University of Michigan and hardware engineer. He made his first court appearance on Wednesday on charges of fraud – he did not disclose that he had been in the Iranian military – and “interstate transportation of stolen property,” according to NPR….According to Eric Brewer, deputy director and fellow with the Project on Nuclear Issues at the Center for Strategic & International Studies, this case is part of a broader Iranian effort to try and steal trade secrets and technology that have to do with the military and defense systems.“Iran certainly does have as a goal improving its military capabilities and uses espionage as a means at its disposal to acquire information and technology it would have a hard time developing indigenously,” Brewer said.“Certainly we don’t want Iran stealing sensitive info from U.S. companies but this does not strike me as something that could lead to a revolutionary new military capability on Iran’s part,” Brewer added. “It is not usually the case where one type of technology or bit of information is so revolutionary that it changes the trajectory of a program.”…The FBI complaint accused the Iranian national of stealing confidential information and technical data from an unidentified company January 2015 through June 2016….“A senior company official advised that any unauthorized disclosure or theft of partner company documents and information protected under an NDA could be ‘catastrophic,'” the FBI counterintelligence agent in charge of the case wrote in an affidavit filed in federal court.According to court documents, Hasanzadeh began sending his brother unauthorized emails containing the confidential information just six days after beginning the new job….
