IRAN TRIES TO RECRUIT SPIES IN ISRAEL

Shin Bet Uncovers Iranian Attempts to Recruit Israeli Spies - Amos Harel
The Shin Bet security service has detained an Israeli citizen of Persian descent on suspicion he had been recruited by Iran's Ministry of Intelligence, it emerged Tuesday. Questioned upon his return to Israel from a visit to Iran, the man admitted being recruited by Iranian intelligence officers and accepting money from them to "cover his costs." Over the past two years, Iran's security services have made at least ten attempts to recruit Israeli citizens of Persian descent while visiting relatives in Iran, Shin Bet sources said. (Ha'aretz)
