Adviser to Khamenei says aid collectors for Palestinians sought to deploy reptiles whose skin 'attracted atomic waves'
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The former chief-of-staff of Iran’s armed forces said Tuesday that Western spies had used lizards to “attract atomic waves” and spy on his country’s nuclear program.
It was the latest in a long line of incidents of Western countries, including Israel, being accused of deploying secret agents from the animal kingdom.
Hassan Firuzabadi, senior military adviser to supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was responding to questions from local media on the recent arrest of environmentalists.
He said he did not know the details of the cases, but that the West had often used tourists, scientists and environmentalists to spy on Iran.
“Several years ago, some individuals came to Iran to collect aid for Palestine… We were suspicious of the route they chose,” he told the reformist ILNA news agency.
“In their possessions were a variety of reptile desert species like lizards, chameleons… We found out that their skin attracts atomic waves and that they were nuclear spies who wanted to find out where inside the Islamic Republic of Iran we have uranium mines and where we are engaged in atomic activities,” he said.
Firuzabadi said Western spy agencies had “failed every time.”
His comments came after news that a leading Iranian-Canadian environmentalist, Kavous Seyed Emami, had committed suicide in prison after he was arrested along with other members of his wildlife NGO last month.
Several spying allegations involving various creatures have been leveled against Israel over the past years.
In January 2016, Lebanese residents captured a griffon vulture wearing an Israeli tracking device, but released it upon realizing that the transmitter strapped to the bird was intended for scientific research rather than espionage.
Several months earlier, Hamas claimed to have caught a dolphin wearing Israeli spying equipment.
Twice in recent years, Turkish media has highlighted allegations that birds tagged with Israeli university tracking devices were on espionage missions.
In 2012, an eagle with an Israeli tag in Sudan was captured and alleged to be as a Mossad spy.
Two years earlier, an Egyptian official said Israel-controlled sharks may have been involved in a number of attacks on tourists in the Red Sea.
Lizards!
I thought the Iranians said Gizzards, and I found some Gizzard recipes.

Cooking Techniques & Tips
Feb 15, 2017 - There’s always someone who likes weird foods. The one who plucks the eye out of a whole roasted fish and devours it. The one who enters a fugue state while feasting on black pudding or chicken feet or tripe. Maybe that person is you. I’m that person when it comes to chicken gizzards.
I make giblet gravy with gizzards and livers!....................
We use small insects...
Baby, Jack, and Charlie Russell are thrilled.
Thanks!
You name your reptiles? 😀😀
Our Lizard spy in training video.....................
Of course. Doesn’t everyone?
Baby is an enormous, orange female dragon. Jack is small and skinny; he was rescued from the summer camp where my daughter worked. Charlie Russell is a cannibalism survivor; he was rescued from a family on our swim team last year. Alice Cooper is a leopard gecko. She sleeps under a log all day and stalks crickets at night.
LOL
Hmm, what do your cats have to say about these feline prey?
“No, thanks.”
Welcome!
“It’s about to get all ectothermic up in here!”
Camouflage for the real reptilians, it would have worked.
Some posts are better left undead..................
I’m off to the library.
Heh heh heh.
My wife does that with our Thanksgiving Turkey!
If there any left overs, they are gone by the end of the day.
