New Yorker writer Adam Davidson tweeted Sunday that when Iran leaders set up front companies to try and acquire weapons of mass destruction that the Trump Organization met with one of those front groups.
One of Soleimans chief goals was to acquire WMD missile systems that could threaten Israel and US installations, Davidson wrote on Twitter Sunday. He assigned the job to his ally, Mohamed Bagher Ghalibaf. When sanctions began, the IRGC used front companies to handle WMD acquisition.

Mammadov sent his son, Anar, to the U.S. in 2010 to develop business ties with U.S. companies, Davidson tweeted. He spent lavishly but got no takers. It was well-known that the Mammadovs laundered money for the IRGC and were wildly corrupt. Only one American business worked with them.
It was President Donald Trumps company.
Ivanka worked extremely closely with the Mammadovs on their absurd tower, Davidson explained. In 2015, the Trump Org acknowledged they knew the Mammadovs were likely laundering money for the IRGC. They kept working with them until after the 2016 election.

There have always been questions about that tower though and Ivanka's role in getting it built in such an unlikely spot. It remains unfinished. "The Baku hotel deal is one of several of Trump's international real estate deals that have been stalled or derailed by allegations of corruption, bribery and money laundering."
