Iran's Intelligence Ministry has claimed it infiltrated the Iranian opposition outside the country and prevented a plan to create what has been described as a "government in exile" supported and promoted by Iran's enemies.
The claim was made first in a documentary titled "A Diamond For Deceit," aired on state television on June 8. The Iranian agent who had the lead role in the show was introduced as Mohammad Reza Madhi.
Madhi is said to be a former member of Iran’s security organs who was involved in the trade of precious stones in Thailand before infiltrating the opposition. Mahdi introduced himself as a former commander of the Revolutionary Guards in interviews published and aired last year by a number of media, including Persian-language television, radio, and websites. (For an interview with Madhi in English, click here.)

Radio Farda broadcaster Mohammad Reza Kazemi, who interviewed Madhi, said he claimed Iranian officials were involved in drug trafficking. Kazemi said Madhi also claimed he had been forced to leave Iran because of information he had obtained about the corruption of several officials, who in reaction were trying to get him arrested on rape charges. Madhi told Kazemi that his wife and children were in Iran and that he was very worried about them.
In the documentary, Madhi claimed that he was supposed to have served as a U.S. stooge to form an Iranian opposition government in exile. He said Western countries spend huge sums of money to keep the opposition alive. He claimed to have met with U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during a trip to Saudi Arabia and U.S. Vice President Joe Biden during a trip to Washington. State Department spokesman Alan Eyre told Radio Farda on June 10 that no U.S. officials ever met with Madhi.

Before I read the article, I just have one snarky question -
Did she dodge bullets running on the tarmac?
Undoubtedly.
I dont doubt it.
What the article states may or may not be 100% accurate or true. But, some, including myself, had their suspicions re this M. R. Mahdi.
Previous comments on one FR thread about Mohammad Reza Mahdi back in early January 2010 - see post #5 onward:
“For example, it seems “Mohammad Reza Madhi” is using this tactic: http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/investigation/30425/iranian-insider-predicts-regime-change. He may very well be sincere in his words, but I’d question his motives. Especially, the timing for his decision to go “public”.”

Had the Obama Administration chosen to support the
uprisings across Iran following the June 2009 elections they might have eventually achieved regime change and at least postponed Iran's nuclear weapons program. Obama was popular enough in Europe and elsewhere to create an international coalition that could denounce the election results and refuse to recognize the Ahmadinejad government and its corrupt mullahs.
Obama could have exploited the Democrats’ symbiotic relationship with organized labor to tie up Iranian shipping, truck traffic and air transportation outside Iran.
Obama could have used his clout with the U.S. and world news media to bombard the airwaves and front pages with negative and inflammatory news about Iran.
Obama did nothing, believing he had a secret agreement with the mullahs brokered before he took office in January 2009. This pact would require Iran to cease its anti-American rhetoric, stop meddling in Iraq and Afghanistan and to stop boasting about its nuclear weapons program. In exchange the Obama administration would begin a diplomatic assault on Israel in an attempt to destabilize the current government and embolden Israel's regional enemies.
Yup. He’s always been suspicious.
Just look at his picture.....he looks like he’d steal the gold teeth out of his mother’s corpse.
lol re his pic. I was thinking exactly same thing. He looks like so sleazy
