NGO Goes Undercover in Iran to Disclose Sanctions Violators

Norman Roule, a retired 34-year veteran of the CIA who served from 2008 to 2017 as intelligence manager for Iran at the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, told Ha'aretz: "Certainly, millions within Iran would choose a different path for their country, if they could.
