Iranian Security Officials Admit Intelligence Failures and Call for Cleaning House
(Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs) Iran Desk and Lt.-Col. (ret.) Michael Segall - Top officials of the Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps are increasingly critical about the chronic weakness of the Iranian regime to safeguard senior officials and scientists, pointing to the large-scale penetration by Israeli intelligence services inside Iran with the aid of local opposition figures. Iranian security officials fear that the normalization of relations between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain, as well as the rapprochement with Saudi Arabia, will allow Israel a more convenient springboard for operational activity inside Iran. As in the past, in the next few weeks the regime will publicize information that it arrested people involved in the attacks so that it can save a little of its honor.
