Islamic Republic's intelligence agents allege rodents were carrying advanced Western spy gear

Iranian intelligence operatives recently detained over a dozen squirrels found within the nation's borders, claiming the rodents were serving as spies for Western powers determined to undermine the Islamic Republic.
"In recent weeks, intelligence operatives have arrested 14 squirrels within Iran's borders," state-sponsored news agency IRNA reported. "The squirrels were carrying spy gear of foreign agencies, and were stopped before they could act, thanks to the alertness of our intelligence services."
Iranian police commander Esmaeil Ahmadi-Moqadam confirmed the report, saying that a number of squirrels had been caught bearing foreign spy gear within Iran's borders.
"I heard of this but I have no specific knowledge on the subject," he said. He refused to give further details.
Recently, Iran has increased its efforts in combating espionage by the West. The use of rodents has not been documented in the past.

And besides, dirty vermin are more commonly associated with their arab neighbours - not western intel.
It’s super secret secret squirrel!
did you know that in Morocco, Morocco Mole is just called Mole?
It takes big nuts to be an Israeli spy squirrel.
Do these detainees get three squares and a Bible?
Uhhh...a Torah?
Wait till we sic the badgers on them!
Rocky & Bullwinkle..
Dialogue from the Rocky & Bullwinkle 'Upsidasium Story': "If the squirrels have started following us, we must be nuts!"
How hard can it be to destabilize a government this loony?
The Iranian scum are lying!
Everyone knows that our Western animal agents are almost always a chicken, not a squirrel. Though, sometimes we do send in a turkey, but that doesn’t happen very often.
Not to mention that our chicken agents are highly skilled in the ancient art of both beak-fu and spur-do. No Iranian would ever live to speak about our mighty chicken agents.
(Colonel Sanders approves this message, brawk!)
