DEBKA: Iran's confessed Israeli spy really an IRGC bully boy
The young Iranian man who "admitted" on Iranian TV last Tuesday, Jan. 11 that he had acted for the Israeli Mossad in the murder of Iranian nuclear scientist Massoud Ali-Mohammadi is revealed in real life by debkafile's Iranian sources as a member of the Iranian Revolutionary Guards' secret reserve death squad of brawny sportsmen used to cut down opponents of the regime and break up protest rallies.

debkafile's Iranian sources had uncovered the real Majid Jamali Fashi - a champion kick boxer, a professional terminator and an ardent fan of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. As a sportsman, his face is familiar to people in Iran from the media and the Internet. Until late 2009, he represented his country in international kick-boxing contests.
Are any Rantburgers followers of kick-boxing, who could verify this claim? Here is the Iran PressTV video of the man confessing on-screen.
Iranian intelligence minister Heidar Moslehi must have realized that putting him on national TV as a Mossad spy to support his boast that Iranian agents had penetrated the Mossad networks he claimed were spread across the country would open more than one can of worms.

If Majid had really been recruited by Mossad, this would have been a feather in the cap of the Israeli spy service -- not Tehran. It would have told the television audience that Mossad's tentacles had not only reached into Iran's nuclear program but also the elite clandestine ranks of the Revolutionary Guards, the IRGC. So why make it the subject of a boast?

Majid Jamali Fash's real persona is disclosed here by our Iranian sources: He was born in Tehran in 1978 and after completing his military service with the IRGC, took up kick boxing while continuing to serve the Guards as a reservist. He and hundreds of his fellow champion sportsmen belong to a unit which is regularly called up for undercover work such as liquidating enemies of the regime and breaking the heads, arms and legs of regime opponents.

In the summer of 2009, the young sportsman was employed in the brutal break-up of the mass street rallies protesting the rigged election which gave Ahmadinejad his second term.

Tehran's practice of employing national sporting talent as IRGC hatchet men in "crowd control" has drawn angry protests from the international federations of Taekwondo, Judo, Karate, Kung fu and other martial arts.

Because of his fame, Iranian audiences found it hard to revise their view of Jamali-Fashi as a Mossad agent.

Many decided his performance was faked by Iranian intelligence. However, opposition circles did believe in his role as assassin of Prof. Mohammadi, though not in the service of Israel but his IRGC masters because the late professor supported the opposition's cause.
