Iran claims it busted Mossad-led spy network in the country
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran claims to have busted a Mossad-led spy network in the country that sought to sabotage the country’s defense industry, and to have made several arrests in the case.
Press TV reports on the alleged network, saying Mossad used a company manufacturing spare parts as a front, which it used to build connections with Iranian firms and individuals tied to the defense industry in hopes of later recruiting them for its needs.
It says Iranian intelligence managed to identify the network, follow its activities and thwart its plans.
It does not say how many people were arrested.
Iran makes claims of busting Mossad spy rings from time to time. The veracity of such claims is unclear.
