The head of an Iranian secret service unit set up to target Mossad agents working in the Islamic Republic turned out to be an Israeli agent himself, according to former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
Speaking to CNN Turk, Ahmadinejad claimed Monday that a further 20 agents in the Iranian intelligence team tasked with monitoring Israeli spying activities also turned against Tehran.
There are no “good guys” in this, but from a technical perspective that is an insanely successful intelligence coup to get your own agent in the other guy’s shop as the one supposed to be watching yours.
It makes me a bit sick to think about how many of his own people he had to sell out (with the blessing of Israel) to earn a position that high. I would not be cut out for that type of work.
