Report says Israeli unit cracked Iranian code
A secret intelligence unit, known as Unit 8200, broke a sophisticated Iranian code enabling Israel to monitor communications, including contacts with Pakistan regarding the development of Iranian nuclear weapons, The New Yorker reported on Tuesday.
"On a trip to the Middle East last month, I was told that a number of years ago the Israeli signals-intelligence agency, known as Unit 8200, broke a sophisticated Iranian code and began monitoring communications that included talk between Iran and Pakistan about Iran's burgeoning nuclear weapons program," investigative reporter Seymour M. Hersh wrote.
According to the report, Israeli intelligence has created strong ties in Iran over the year, some of which still exist. Hersh writes that the investigation by the International Atomic Energy Agency into Iranian nuclear capability was spurred by Israeli intelligence findings which were relayed to the agency via the National Council of Resistance of Iran.
According to the report, the findings, which showed that senior officials in Teheran and Islamabad had frequent conversations regarding the IAEA. investigations, were also shared with US intelligence services.
"The interpretation is the issue here," a former intelligence official is quoted as saying. "If you set the buzzwords aside, the substance is that the Iranians were saying, 'We've got to play with the IAEA. We don't want to blow our cover, but we have to show some movement. There's no way we're going against world public opinion - no way. We've got to show that we're cooperating and get the Europeans on our side.'"
Just exactly what you'd expect those 2 countries to be discussing.
Yep, your right on the money. Did we really expect anything other than a knife in our backs too?
SO let's see - the slime pit news media let's the ENEMY know all about our, and our allies, intelligence collections, methods, and successes.
May they DIE a slow burning death.
brings to mind - I am wondering how the relations are between Israel and India
I suspect that they would be discussing the best type of knife to murder infidels with. Or maybe they were discussing exactly how many days a Muslim man should serve in jail for raping and then "honor killing" his sister for the crime of being raped by him.
With the last Indian Prime Minister--excellent..
SEYMOUR HERSH = KAPO
