CNN: Iran says it has busted a U.S. espionage network, arresting 24 people accused of spying and identifying 42 CIA operatives linked to the operation, state-run Press TV reported, citing an Iranian intelligence ministry statement. The statement said the operatives had gathered data from "universities and scientific research centers, and in the field of nuclear energy, aerospace, defense and biotechnology industries." The alleged spy ring also used U.S. embassies and consulates in several countries, particularly Turkey, Malaysia, and the United Arab Emirates to cull information about the "oil and gas pipelines, telecommunication and electricity networks, airports and customs, the security of the banking and communication systems." >>>

IRI is really loosing it.
by Manam_Babak on Sat May 21, 2011 09:20 PM PDTThey are responding to Obama taking the restriction that was put on student visa off so that more Iranian can come to US with student visa, and in return US image would look better in Iran. But Mollas (IRI) know once young Iraninan travel to US they will have access to real news, and will find out what is realy happening in Iran, and around the world. That is why they have came up with this "Spy" story. Indirectly they are trying to stop young students to leave Iran for higher education, and return back home with full knowlage of how to get rid of IRI.

by yolanda on Sat May 21, 2011 07:22 PM PDTHi! Joe L,
You really confuse me! All your posts on IC are pro-IRI, but you use American flag as your avatar! Are you a double agent?
You wrote:
i dont own my country no more.
Which country were you talking about? US or Iran?
You call other people "Iranian traitors", but you proudly use American flag as your avatar!
I am disappointed that some of the tiny countries rank higher than Iran on FIFA ranking. Iran ranks #48 in the world, Lithuana(#47), Burkina Faso (#44), and Senegal (#40) rank higher than Iran......IRI is too busy catching spies, therefore Team Melli got neglected!
right ...because they got
by alx1711 on Sat May 21, 2011 06:50 PM PDTright ...because they got busted in Kuwait & UAE, so now they have to make up their own stories that CIA got spies in Iran.
Talk abour paranoia, why dont they arrest the whole nation for spying and sponage. Only Hezbollah, Basij, Hamas and Mullahs are part of civil society.
It's no longer a matter of bombing Mullahs and IRR!?
by Everybody Loves Somebody ... on Sat May 21, 2011 06:12 PM PDTI am for nuking IRR!? Yes drop tactical nukes where ever there are mullahs, masjed, imamzdehs, and supporters of mullahs!?
yes yolanda
by Joe L. on Sat May 21, 2011 06:04 PM PDTdon't be too confused, just open your eyes and stop looking one direction and you shall see the light.
iri has every right to be nervous having openly, proudly declared terrorist and spy organization paid by US, supported by Israel working day and night by bunch of useless arab puppet leadership along with saudi arabia: the tumor of middle east...which israel country supports!
i dont own my country no more. my country is running by bunch of useless politicians who take my money and hand it to israel , saudi arabia, pakistan, and other terrorist regimes while we turn our back on a true ally: iran. that's all israel's deception and you and many others have fell for it.
enjoy america going down year by year and you sit there and say iri is horrible!!! while if we allied with iran, u.s would still be on the right side in middle east. of course i dont think you would care! and it shows.
if i was iran i would be nervous too. not to mention the iranian traitors who are willing to lie and deceit, and even go to war (hint: mahmoudg look alike) so their class may get back and party back home.
all in all, iri has been very liberal, considering the location, position, leadership (mullas) comparing to all "pro u.s." countries in the region, that are like a balloon ready to burst in to islamic fanaticism, if given a chance. knowing the region, it is not too far fetched for us to see that happens. and while islamic fanaticism takes over by sunni countries such as pakistan and saudi arabia, you just comment here about iri this and iri that! as if they all have been perfect, with no prisoners, torturers, or unjust laws and regulations.
yes yolanda, you are very confused and i have known that. the problem though is that you are not willing to investigate beyond the regular jargon and simple media (israeli supported) outlet.
by the way, iran dropped a few points in fifa.
p.s. the iranian reporter seems to get it! bet he will never be invited again.
The news caster
by mahmoudg on Sat May 21, 2011 04:15 PM PDTcalls the CIA, "Sazman Siah", either he is an illiterate blind follower , as probably is the case with most of the people who have been brainwashed by the Islamic Rapist cultists, or he was born stupid, which is also the case for most of the supporters of the Islamic Rapist Republic. Calling CIA siah, is utter stupidity. not to mention that CIA, probably has thousands if not tens of thousands of willing spies in Iran who would happily provide information to ensure the downfall of this regime.

by yolanda on Sat May 21, 2011 04:20 PM PDTI am confused! IRI has called the following people spies:
*
Roxanna Saberi
Maziar Bahari
3 American hikers
The 7 Bahais
*************
I don't believe they are spies!
P.S. IRI calls Shahran Amiri the double agent!
If I visit Iran, they can call me a Farangi spy, too!
I need more information! IRI lies too many times......I don't know what to believe!
Fact!
by Shokaran on Sat May 21, 2011 04:02 PM PDTCIA is the strongest supporter of IRI,...These acts are just to delete some of the oppositon side,period.
