How Is the Mossad Able to Recruit So Many Spies in Iran
(Jerusalem Post) Israel's Mossad has an "extensive network" of spies operating in Iran, former Israeli intelligence officer Oded Ailam, 71, told the German newspaper Bild in an interview last week. He said only 40% of its population of 90 million are Persian. "This makes it extremely difficult for the government to control the people." Kurds, Turkmen, Baluchis, and Azeris can all be recruited to turn on the regime. "There are many dissatisfied people in Iran. Large parts of society are impoverished. While Iran sits on huge gas reserves, instead of investing this money in their own country, the mullahs have poured billions into terror organizations like Hizbullah. There is also the fact that Iran is a large country with borders that can't always be monitored, making it possible to smuggle anything into the country."
