Move Along, Nothing to See Here

So the madcap mullahs own a skyscraper in New York, among other valuable tracts of land. Big deal. The Islamophobic media reports:

Putting the squeeze on Tehran, the feds moved Thursday to seize a mosque in Queens and a Fifth Avenue skyscraper from a nonprofit organization suspected of secretly funneling money to Iran.

"The Alavi Foundation has effectively been a front for the government of Iran," said Manhattan US Attorney Preet Bharara, who sued to grab more than $500 million in assets.

The foundation, started by the Shah in 1978 and taken over by the revolutionaries who deposed him a year later, owns a majority of 650 Fifth Avenue, also known as the Piaget building, a 35-story granite-and-glass office tower at 52nd St.

The building was valued at $650 million in 2007 and generated $4.5 million in rents from financial, hotel and apparel companies with offices there.

Bharara said that for two decades, the Alavi Foundation has been secretly controlled by a series of Iranian ambassadors to the United Nations.

So glad to see our friends at the United Nations repaying their gratitude.
