Iran official claims US send ‘CIA’ spy to Iran.

Iran official makes contradictory ‘CIA infiltration’ claim. (Taz).

A CIA agent, who was given a mission to infiltrate Iran, traveled to Tehran around June and visited all the universities in the city, Secretary of Iran’s Expediency Council Mohsen Rezaee has claimed.

“In the future, we will release many documents about him,” said Rezaee, who formerly served as the commander of the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps, Tasnim news agency reported March 1.

“That man is the first person who went to the USSR after the atmosphere eased there,” Rezaee said, without making any further clarification.

But Rezaee, despite claiming that the CIA agent visited Iran around June last year, further said the person came to the country following the signing of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA, aka nuclear deal) by Iran and the P5+1 (the US, the UK, France, Russia, China, and Germany), which took place on July 14, 2015.

The JCPOA was backed by an IAEA report testifying to the peacefulness of Iran’s nuclear program and was put into force on Jan. 16, 2016, ending long claims over Iran’s nuclear ambitions by curbing its nuclear activities.

“We are facing enemies who are ahead of us by 100 years in terms of science and technology. They don’t have any problems with nuclear bombs… or missiles. They have problems with our scientific advancement,” claimed Rezaee.

Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have been warning that “enemies” have special plans for infiltrating the country in the post-JCPOA era.


A number of Iran’s nuclear scientists have been assassinated in the past. Tehran accuses its “enemies” of having plotted the assassinations as a bid to hamper the country’s progress.

Video - Russia's FSB says CIA agent nabbed in Moscow.(RT).Promises of millions, a new face and detailed instructions on a double-agent conspiracy in Moscow. Bearing the hallmarks of a Cold War spy thriller, Russia’s counterintelligence agency says it nabbed a CIA officer trying to flip a Russian operative.

The Federal Security Service (FSB) Public Relations Center has announced that the person detained is Ryan Christopher Fogle, a career diplomat working as the third secretary of the Political Section of the American embassy in Moscow.

The agency stressed that Christopher had special technical equipment, printed instructions for the Russian citizen being recruited, a large sum of money and means to change the person’s appearance.

The detainee was delivered to the FSB receiving office where he has been questioned and after all the necessary procedures he has been handed over to representatives of the US embassy in Moscow.

The website of the American embassy in Russia informs that its Political Section is engaged in “bringing to the attention of the Russian government the US position on the issues of foreign policy and security.” The section’s other task is to “inform Washington about the main provisions of the foreign and defense policy of Russia,” as well as Russian domestic political life.

US Ambassador to the Russian Federation Michael McFaul refused to comment on the detention of his subordinate for espionage activities. On his Twitter account he simply wrote ‘no’ answering a question about Ryan Fogle.

But tomorrow he will definitely have to have an answer to the Russian Foreign Ministry, where he has been summoned to give an explanation concerning the incident.Read the full story here.
