Kredo Describes ‘Long-Ignored' Story of Iranian Spy Operations in U.S.
[Free Beacon] Washington Free Beacon senior writer Adam Kredo said Friday that two Iranian spies recently arrested in the U.S. were part of a much larger intelligence effort by the Islamic Republic.

"This is a story long-ignored," Kredo said.

Kredo, speaking on on One America News Network's "Tipping Point," described how Iran’s intelligence activity reaches far around the world. Rep. Peter Roskam (R., Ill.) described the arrested Iranians as just the "tip of the iceberg," and Kredo warned of mounting evidence that Iran is actively engaged in the U.S. and the western hemisphere.

"All we have to do is look at Latin America and the sophisticated operation that Hezbollah runs to just operating with impunity in terms of drug trade and arms trafficking, but very much embedding themselves in the government of certain left-leaning South American nations," he said.

He described how the agents arrested were focused on Jewish and Israeli facilities for a possible attack.

"They were canvassing, essentially spying on Jewish and Israeli facilities around town with what they expected was the intent of planning some sort of terror attack," he said.

"The Iranians have a very sophisticated espionage operation," he said, noting it is bolstered by terrorist organizations like Hezbollah.

He said it’s important to "take the Iranians at face value" when they show their intentions.

Roskam told the Free Beacon that more is yet to be learned about Iran’s activities:

There simply must be an explanation.
