"IRAN SPY NETWORK 30,000 STRONG Pentagon report: Iranian intelligence linked to spying, terror attacks"

SNIPPET: "Iran’s intelligence service includes 30,000 people who are engaged in covert and clandestine activities that range from spying to stealing technology to terrorist bombings and assassination, according to a Pentagon report."

SNIPPET: "“MOIS provides financial, material, technological, or other support services to Hamas, Hezbollah, and al Qaeda in Iraq (AQI), all designated terrorist organizations under U.S. Executive Order 13224,” the report said.

The spy service operates in all areas where Iran has interests, including Afghanistan, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Central Asia, Africa, Austria, Azerbaijan, Croatia, France, Georgia, Germany, Turkey, Britain, and the Americas, including the United States.

Iranian activities in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Ecuador, and Venezuela have raised alarm among U.S. government officials."

Their top spy is in the Oval Office (when he isn’t boondoggling or vacationing).

Such regimes use quantity in such efforts, because they have minimal quality at hand. So from those 30,000, subtract the number that are so incompetent they are soon discovered by professional counterintelligence agencies.

This leaves a core of perhaps a few hundred, many of whom stay in country and try and direct from afar.

In Iran’s case, they have all sorts of ongoing operations around the world, most of which have been compromised, so present no major threat.

Unfortunately those incompetent ones keep the
agencies occupied by shear numbers.
I’m afraid the competent ones are going to get through
eventually.
