(Jerusalem Post-Times of Israel) Tzvi Joffre - An Iranian Jew was detained by the Israel Security Agency on Friday on suspicion of spying for Iranian security forces. The man, who has relatives in Israel, admitted that he had come to gather intelligence and take photos for Iranian security officials. After the investigation was completed, the Iranian Jew was refused entry to Israel and boarded a plane to head back to Iran. Defense sources said that because the man was thought to have been pressured to spy on Israel by Iranian intelligence and also motivated by a large payout, he was not arrested. "He was stopped before he could do anything," a defense official said.
