CIA Spying on Iran

Iranian Intelligence Minister Heidar Moslehi says a recently dismantled espionage ring affiliated to the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) had infiltrated the country's state institutions. Moslehi said "some of the spies were unaware that they were working for the intelligence services of the United States and Britain, adding that they have made confessions in this regard".

The Iranian intelligence minister stated out that "certain agents were working for the intelligence services of the enemy under the pretext of conducting scientific activities".
However, he expressed confidence that "the entire enemy plots to promote Islamophobia and Iranophobia would "end in favor of Islam."

On May 21, Iran's Intelligence Ministry issued a statement saying that it had uncovered and dismantled an espionage and sabotage network and arrested 30 individuals suspected of spying for the United States.
