The reason for the arrest according to Parviz Sorouri, an influential lawmaker, was that the CIA agents were spying on Iran’s military, its nuclear programme and that they were operating in co-ordination with Israel’s Mossad and other regional agencies.
“The U.S. and Zionist regime’s espionage apparatuses were trying to damage Iran both from inside and outside with a heavy blow, using regional intelligence services,” Sorouri was quoted via an interview last Wednesday.
“The US and Zionist regime’s espionage apparatuses were trying to use regional intelligence services, both inside and outside Iran, in order to deal a strong blow to our country,” he added.
The United States and its allies suspect Iran is pursuing a nuclear weapon program, a charge Tehran denies.
In May, Iran said it had arrested 30 people after breaking up a spy network run by the CIA.
It said the network had operated out of American diplomatic missions in the Malaysia, Turkey and the United Arab Emirates to recruit Iranians as spies.
