Reza Hashemi
Iranian arms dealer and one of the Hashemi brothers involved in secret arms sales and hostage negotiations related to Iran-Contra.
Reza Hashemi was one of the Hashemi brothers, an Iranian living in the West. He was involved in secret arms sales and negotiations concerning the American hostages in Tehran.1
Hashemi was arrested after his brothers, Cyrus Hashemi and Jamshid Hashemi, were tipped off about their indictment under the Arms Export Control Act for illegal arms sales to Iran. He became a hostage himself, which pressured his elder brothers to negotiate with U.S. Customs to become informants.1
