Iran's intelligence services head was Israeli agent, reveals ex-president Ahmadinejad

Former Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has revealed that the head of Iran's top secret service was himself an undercover Mossad agent.

In an interview with CNN-Turk, Ahmadinejad claimed that as many as 20 agents in Iran's intelligence team - which was an anti-Mossad unit - were actually Israeli spies who were leaking sensitive information to the Jewish country.

According to the former president, the double agents informed Israel about the Iranian nuclear programme.

“The boss of the Iranian anti-Mossad intelligence agency was a Mossad agent ... Iran’s secret services had created a special unit to combat Mossad operating in Iran. It turns out the head of this unit was himself a Mossad agent, along with 20 other agents, who were responsible for multiple operations in Iran, including stealing nuclear documents and assassinating several Iranian nuclear scientists before fleeing to Israel,” CNN-Turk tweeted quoting Ahmadinejad.

Ahmadinejad, who is known as a hardline leader, further claimed that the alleged Mossad moles managed to flee the country before their secret was revealed in 2021 and are now living in Israel.

Lebanon’s Hezbollah confirmed on Saturday that its leader Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was killed in an Israeli air strike on Beirut.
