Iran intelligence chief: 10 suspects linked to Mossad
Iran intelligence chief: 10 suspects linked to Mossad.
(Impossible to know how much credence to lend this story. Iran has lost a lot of face recently and this could just be so much disinformation. – JW)
Iranian intelligence chief Heidar Moslehi on Tuesday revealed more details about the investigation into last year’s killing of a nuclear physicist.
Speaking to reporters Tuesday, Moslehi claimed that more than 10 suspects had been arrested and all were members of networks linked to the Mossad.
Moslehi warned any nations cooperating with Israel in such plots that Iran would consider them “bases for terrorist jobs” and threats to the entire Middle East.
In a possible blow to the Mossad on Monday, Iranian intelligence services announced they had succeeded in penetrating the Israeli spy agency’s operations in that country.
According to a statement put out by the Iranian Intelligence Ministry, Iran had arrested a network of spies linked to the assassination of one of the country’s top nuclear scientists a year ago, and the spies had revealed information on additional anti-Iran Israeli plots.
Iran blames the Mossad for the assassination last January of Teheran University physics professor Masoud Ali Mohammadi, who was killed by a bomb-rigged motorcycle that exploded outside his house as he was leaving for work. Possible explanations as to why he was targeted have never been made clear, particularly as he had no known link to Iran’s nuclear work, although some reports have indicated that Mohammadi was involved in the country’s nuclear weapons program.
“After months of silent struggle, offensive, multi-layered and complicated operations and penetration into the depths of the Zionist regime’s intelligence led to the uncovering of very important and sensitive information about Mossad spies and operations,” the Intelligence Ministry statement said. “Heavy blows were inflicted on the structure of the Zionist intelligence and security services.”

The threats that the Mossad has delivered to Iran will gaurrantee to be the continuation of the Iranian Regime.failures and insure continuation of the Mossads penetrations into the Intelligence and Military services of the Iranian Regime. The unknown status of the Mossad and the continued propaganda operations are the true success of the Iranian Intelligence failure. I very seriously doubt that Iran will solve their problem. That is evident or their own systems collusion and support which the gauranteed success of the Israeli and C.I.A. counter-terrorism Operations and the blanket security of the mission.
