Linked to the Iran-Contra affair and 1980 October Surprise theory
Cyrus Hashemi (Persian: سیروس هاشمی; also spelled Hashimi; 27 December 1938 – 21 July 1986[1]) was an Iranian arms dealer linked to the Iran-Contra affair, Brokers of Death arms case, and 1980 October Surprise theory.[2][3] Robert Dreyfuss claimed Hashemi was a CIA and Mossad agent; Hashemi sued Dreyfuss and Lyndon LaRouche, whose Executive Intelligence Review had accused Hashemi of being linked to the alleged "funding of Iranian terrorism in the United States,"[4] with the case dismissed in June 1983 due to Hashemi's failure to respond to legal documents.[5][6] Hashemi died from acute myeloblastic leukemia July 1986 in London.[7]
