Hanged for spying for Israel

"This network sought to gather important information from the Guards' military section, the country's nuclear centres and some security officials."

"Iran says Israel-linked spy network arrested," from AFP, November 24 (thanks to all who sent this in):

TEHRAN (AFP) – Iran's Revolutionary Guards have arrested a spy network linked to Israeli intelligence who tried to gather information on Iranian nuclear and military programmes, the guard's chief said on Monday.

"The intelligence bureau of the Revolutionary Guards Corps has recently discovered a spy network linked with the Israeli Mossad," Mohammad Ali Jafari said on state radio.

"This network sought to gather important information from the Guards' military section, the country's nuclear centres and some security officials," he said.

"Very good information as well as equipment that this network were supplied with have been discovered and people will be informed of the evidence in the near future," he said.

Jafari did not specify how many people were detained or where and when the group was arrested.

He said the detainees had confessed to "being trained in bombing and assassination in Israel and had bought vehicles and lots of equipment with Mossad support," the state broadcaster's website said.

Iran said on Saturday it had hanged an Iranian telecoms salesman convicted of spying for arch-enemy Israel and warned that a "more serious intelligence war" had begun with the Jewish state.

Tehran does not recognise Israel and tensions have flared since the 2005 election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly said the Jewish state is doomed to vanish and branded the Holocaust a "myth"....

Could these ties be linked with the squirrels they caught with gear on them for spying on iran? or the pigeons trained for spying on iran by Israel?

I think this means that the mullahs are fearful of Israeli intelligence gathering and are sending a message to their own population. If we see many more hangings this will have been the case, if not then maybe he really was a spy. I'm sure they got a long list of undesirables that they can call spys a summarily execute.

Interesting to see how this one will play out.

Zena,

Squirrels, pigeons and then Jooozz...

What will these childkillers be chasing next? Their own shadows?

Infidels! - it was the American Satan who had trained the Secret Squirrel and Camera Pigeon!

This is an Israeli plot and like all Jewish plots, it will be resisted by the Jihad! Imagine - just a few of the Faithful against the powerful Zionist gold and war machine.

sarcasm - off!

This is what happens when you let cousins marry........

Nice to see 'em trying at least. Shows how unpopular Borat Ahmedinejad is.

No doubt one of over a dozen networks working in Iran. I would guess most of it neighbors as well as the security council countries have something going in this saber rattling county.

If I am wrong then I have a bridge I want to sell you.

Especially since all of them were for centuries part of one Persian Empire or another. There could be quite a bit of leftover animosity.
It could well be that the Iranian bomb is intended more as a counter to Pakistan than a threat to Israel. For most of its history, Pakistan was a backwater province of a Persian Empire. Now it has twice Iran's population, supports all kinds of terrorists and jihadists, and is greedily eying Iran's oil wealth. Plus Pak already has a bomb.

I thought all the country's nuclear centres were open to the UN inspection!
I guess they probably saw him feeding some pigeons:::

Let's not forget the Israeli-bred super rats. We could load some of our drone aircraft with them and fly them into Iran by the thousands.

Iran is at war with Israel. You shoot spies during wartime. Manytimes during peace time you tend to swap them.
