An Australian-British academic who was falsely imprisoned in Iran under espionage charges said the hit on Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh likely came from an Iranian insider.
After attending a conference she was invited to in the Islamic Republic of Iran in 2018, Dr. Kylie Moore-Gilbert was arrested by the intelligence arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and eventually sentenced to 10 years in prison on charges of espionage.
Two years later, she was released in exchange for three convicted Iranian terrorists connected to a bomb plot in Bangkok in 2012.
During her time in Iran's notorious Evin prison she learned to speak Farsi and came into contact with high-level IRGC and state officials.
On this week's episode of 'Eye for Iran', Moore- Gilbert opens up about her time in prison and explains why she believes there was likely an Iranian insider behind the suspected Israeli hit, as Iran reels in the wake of Ismail Haniyeh's assassination.
Speaking to host Negar Mojtahedi, Moore-Gilbert also shares what she learned about her captors and what that means about the state of mind of high ranking government officials in this week's episode of 'Eye for Iran.'
