Ahmadinejad Claims Israel Infiltrated Iranian Intelligence
(Iran International-UK) In a video interview published Friday, former president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad said the highest-ranking Iranian intelligence official in charge of countering Israeli spies in Iran was himself an agent of Israel. Ahmadinejad attributed the success of Israel's intelligence operations in Iran to the high level of its infiltration in the Iranian intelligence and security agencies. Referring to the theft of secret Iranian nuclear documents in 2018, he said, "Extremely important documents have been stolen and the country's security has been compromised....They gave several vanloads of documents to Israel....How did they manage to get several vans out of the country with all the checkpoints in this country?" He also spoke of "documents at the Iranian Space Agency [that] were in a safe that belonged to the agency's chief. The agents pierced the roof, went in through the hole, opened the safe and took the documents."
