Iran has claimed it arrested a “network of spies” linked to Israel’s Mossad intelligence service that it blames for the assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist in 2010.
“The network of spies and terrorists linked to … Mossad was destroyed,” state television quoted a statement issued by the intelligence ministry as saying. “The network was behind the assassination of Masoud Ali-Mohammadi.”
A remote-controlled bomb killed the Tehran University scientist in Tehran on January 12 last year. Iran blamed the United States and Israel for the killing.
Washington has denied charges of involvement as “absurd”.
The statement said Israel had “used some European and non-European countries as well as some neighboring countries to lead the assassination,” without giving further details.
“We uncovered important and sensitive information and espionage teams and Mossad operations, and as a result we dealt a major blow to the Zionist regime’s intelligence and security organizations.”
I can confirm it is true. And in an Israellycool exclusive, I present a photo of the captured spies.
In other Mossad spy-related news, one of our boys was thankfully released.
