| 2018-12-21 |
[PRESSTV] Iran’s Intelligence Ministry rejects the Israeli premier’s claim that Tel Aviv’s agents routinely visit the country for spying on its nuclear program, saying such "delusional remarks" are merely meant to ease the pressure on him over recent revelations about the Islamic Theocratic Republic’s successful infiltration of the regime’s espionage services. Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israeli spies have been working "all over the world in regards to Iran’s nuclear program," claiming, "We also visit there periodically... to ’catch up,’" without providing details. In response, the director general for counter-espionage at the Iranian Intelligence Ministry told the ISNA news agency that Netanyahu "has the right to spin yards" of the regime’s spying operations. Netanyahu, the official added, "has come under the most intense internal and foreign pressure due to leaks about an Israeli minister spying for Iran as well as the large-scale infiltration of the Zionist regime’s intelligence services by those of the Islamic Theocratic Republicof Iran. The official was referring to the arrest in June of former Israeli energy minister Gonen Segev on charges of spying for Iran, giving the Islamic Theocratic Republicinformation about the regime’s energy sector, security sites and the identity of officials in the security and political establishments, among other things. |
