Iran’s Intelligence Minister: 290 CIA Spies Have Been Identified

Mahmoud Alavi, the intelligence minister of the Islamic Republic announced on Friday that “290 CIA spies in several countries” have been identified by this ministry.

He referred to the interviews of eleven U.S security officials with Yahoo News and claimed that identifying these spies led to a “disruption in CIA’s contact with its sources, to a point that a failure committee was formed in America.”

He did not offer any details about this “epic intelligence battle with CIA” but said that in the future more information will be released through state TV and other media.

Alavi continued: “A similar blow was inflicted on MI6.”

The intelligence minister also talked about the infiltration of the Israeli government by Iranian intelligent forces and added that this affair made that regime very angry.

He went on to say that Iranian intelligence forces “have identified and arrested dozens of spies in sensitive areas of the country who had been hired by foreign intelligence services.” He did not offer more explanation about this claim.

Alavi also reported that “during last year, 114 infidel groups, 116 teams  connected to Mujahedin, 44 anti-revolutionary groups, 380 drug smuggling groups, and operations of 188 operative teams were neutralized.”
