'Israeli Mossad agents posed as CIA spies to recruit terrorists to fight against Iran'
2012-01-30
Foreign Policy magazine cites CIA memos from 2007-2008 that the Mossad recruited members of Jundallah terror group to fight against Tehran; U.S. was reportedly furious with Israel and moved to limit joint intelligence programs.

#3  This makes a lot of sense. In Iran, there is a popular revulsion of Israel, all created by propaganda and zero exposure. But a lot of Iranians have experience with both Americans and real CIA and military personnel who were once assigned there.

That credibility, plus old Soviet propaganda that the CIA were everywhere and tremendously powerful, gives the CIA a lot of credibility.

Bottom line, it would be a heck of a lot easier to recruit as CIA instead of MOSSAD.

#2  Two thoughts:

I wonder how you check credentials?

Strikes me as the work of an IMF team. :)

#1  Probably the only time in recent years that the CIA could be accused of doing some effective field work.
