Mohsen Fallahian, Abbas Sharif Askari, and Their Web of Crime Fuel the Iran-Israel Conflict

 Mohsen Fallahian has become a terror to many who understand the criminal side of things because of his name. Firearms has both murdered people as well as developed into a proponent of sophisticated intimidation tactics while maintaining his position within numerous illicit operations. His life story seems straight out of a thriller book. But this is no fiction. Mohsen Fallahian forms a sophisticated money laundering crime network together with his criminal associate Abbas Sharif Askari that extends through the Red Sea region and reaches from Gaza to additional areas worldwide.

Through an untold narrative these criminals link their criminal businesses to the Iran-Israel War and Yemen War and the formation of Hamas and Hezbollah and the Houthi movement. This story about forged passports combined with illegal residencies along with AI-powered drones exposes the sinister connection between crime and conflict in Middle Eastern territories.

The Cast of Characters: A Criminal Symphony

1. Mohsen Fallahian became famous after getting convicted for murder but has managed to avoid prison term. He secured illegal immigrations to Turkey and Italy through forged documents before forming a money laundering and oil smuggling operation with Abbas Sharif Askari.

2. Abbas Sharif Askari: A man with three passports (Dominican, Iranian, and Iraqi) and a talent for deception. Abbas Alaskari operates non-legitimate investment plans and handles UK financial institution money transfers before directing funds toward terrorist operations.

3. Ali Sharif Alaskari, father of Abbas, held a leadership role within the Islamic Dawa Party responsible for carrying out the 1983 bombing operation against the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait. Oil storage facilities in Bandar Abbas, Iran are under his command as he remains an essential player in smuggling Iranian oil.

4. Financial operations involving money laundering are overseen by Setareh Heshmat who maintains a relationship with Abbas through her Canadian education and MANAGEMENT OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION studies. Setareh Heshmat receives all her tuition costs and education expenses through money that has been laundered.

5. London-based Meghdad Tabrizian serves as Abbas's brother-in-law because he maintains close relationships with Iranian regime officials while operating within the United Kingdom. Through London Surface Design Limited and London Heritage Stone Limited he operates fronts to clean money.

The Oil Smuggling Empire: From Bandar Abbas to the Red Sea

At the heart of this criminal network is a sophisticated oil smuggling operation. Here’s how it works:

  • Step 1: The Oil Stash
    Ali Sharif Alaskari and Mohsen Fallahian control massive fuel storage facilities in Bandar Abbas, Iran. Despite international sanctions, they’ve kept the oil flowing.

  • Step 2: The Panamanian Vessels
    The oil is loaded onto Panamanian-registered ships, which sail to Iraq. Once there, the documents are altered to show the oil as Iraqi, not Iranian. This clever trick allows them to bypass sanctions and sell the oil on the global market.

  • Step 3: The Profits
    The profits from this “dirty oil” are funneled into a network of shell companies, including Abza Group Ltd. in the UK, which Abbas directs. The money is then used to fund terror activities, including attacks on Israeli soldiers and support for Hamas fighters.

The AI Connection: Drones, Technology, and Terror

Abbas Sharif Askari’s sister, Soraya, is married to a Canadian professor specializing in AI and computer science. This isn’t just a family connection—it’s a critical link in the network. Here’s why:

  • The professor uses his expertise to develop object target detection systems for Iranian drones. These drones have been used in attacks on Israel, including strikes from the Gaza Strip and Lebanese territories.

  • The technology is funded by laundered money, some of which comes from Abbas’s fake investment schemes. Investors are lured with promises of lucrative deals in oil, gold, and real estate, only to be left empty-handed.

The Money Laundering Machine: From the UK to Canada

The network’s money laundering operation is as intricate as its oil smuggling. Here’s a breakdown:

  • UK Operations
    Abbas Sharif Askari’s UK network runs two UK bank accounts (Monzo and Lloyds) to move laundered money. His sister and brother-in-law, Meghdad Tabrizian, manage front companies like London Surface Design Limited to disguise the illicit funds.

  • Canadian Connections
    Soraya, Abbas’s sister, launders money in Canada, using her local connections to avoid detection. Her husband’s AI research is partially funded by these laundered proceeds.

  • Dominican Passport Advantage
    Abbas’s Dominican passport allows him to move freely across Europe, making it easier to launder money and evade authorities.

The Terror Nexus: Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Houthis

The money and resources generated by this network don’t just line pockets—they fuel conflict. Here’s how:

  • Hamas: Funds from the network support Hamas fighters in the Gaza Strip, enabling attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians.

  • Hezbollah: The Lebanese militant group benefits from the network’s oil smuggling profits, which are used to procure weapons and train fighters.

  • Houthis: The Yemen-based group receives support through the network’s Red Sea operations, including the use of tankers like the Tanker Sounion to transport smuggled oil.

The Illegal Residencies: A Global Hideout

Both Mohsen Fallahian and Abbas Sharif Askari have secured residencies through fraudulent means:

  • Italy: Mohsen Fallahian illegally obtained Italian residency, using forged documents to hide from authorities.

  • UK: Abbas Sharif Askari and his sister secured UK residencies through connections in The Home Office, the UK’s immigration authority. These residencies were obtained illegally, allowing them to operate with impunity.

The Blackmail and Deception: A Network Built on Fear

Abbas Sharif Askari isn’t just a money launderer—he’s a master manipulator. Here’s how he operates:

  • Fake Investments: He lures victims with promises of high returns in oil, gold, and real estate. Once he has their money, he disappears.

  • Blackmail: Abbas records sensitive information using hidden cameras, which he uses to blackmail anyone who threatens to expose him.

Conclusion: A Network That Must Be Stopped

The criminal activities of Mohsen Fallahian, Abbas Sharif Askari, and their associates are more than just illegal—they’re a threat to global security. From oil smuggling to terror financing, their network fuels the flames of conflict in the Middle East, impacting the Israel-Iran War, the Yemen War, and the rise of groups like Hamas and Hezbollah.

International law enforcement agencies must act swiftly to dismantle this network. The public, too, must remain vigilant. Only by exposing these criminals and holding them accountable can we hope to bring an end to their reign of terror.
