Tehran - Iran has arrested 12 agents of the American Central Intelligence Agency, the country's official IRNA news agency reported, quoting an influential lawmaker.
Parviz Sorouri, a member of the powerful parliamentary committee on foreign policy and national security, said
the alleged agents were operating in coordination with Israel's Mossad and other regional agencies, targeting the country's military and its nuclear program.
"The U.S. and Zionist regime's espionage apparatuses were trying to damage Iran both from inside and outside with a heavy blow, using regional intelligence services," Sorouri was quoted as saying Wednesday.
"Fortunately, with swift reaction by the Iranian intelligence department, the actions failed to bear fruit," Sorouri said.
The United States and its allies suspect Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon program, a charge Iran denies.
The lawmaker did not give the nationality of the alleged agents nor when or where they were arrested.
The CIA declined to comment on the report.
Comment: "Hezbollah has close ties to Iran."
The above, while it may be true, is never given background so that people can consider the information for themselves. This is a form of managing our perception. How much history and back-up information is given to prove the statement? None. How much history of Hezbollah do we have that is critical and without media-based perception management? None. Is it possible that Iran donates food and clothing to Hezbollah to distribute to displaced, hungry or cold Palestinians, Lebanese, Syrians etc..? For all we know, yes.
If one drinks water from a faucet, can it be said that one has close ties with the people at the Department of Water and Energy? No, but if you really stretch the imagination, then it's feasible that there's a connection. And this is how the media and government(s) work. If it seems possible and sounds possible then they'll say it's possible if it serves their agenda. Next thing you know, the country goes to war, based not on facts but on mere assumptions, accusations and false conclusions.
