Lawmaker Stresses Iran's Intelligence Supremacy over US Moves http://english.farsnews.com/newstext.php?nn=9003016289

A senior Iranian legislator reiterated Iran's intelligence supremacy over the US moves and operations in the region, saying that the Iranian intelligence forces' successful operation against CIA operatives in recent days proves the superiority of the Iranian side."The hawk-eyed Iranian intelligence forces are monitoring all US moves in the region. Our security and intelligence forces defuse many US plots, but they don't usually make a relevant public announcement,"

Head of the parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission Alaeddin Boroujerdi told FNA on Sunday. He further pointed to a recent operation by the Iranian intelligence forces, during which Iran could disband a very complicated network of US spies, and said, "This was just a part of the operational power of the Iranian intelligence and security forces in the confrontation against CIA and Mossad spy agencies." 

The Iranian Intelligence Ministry announced on Saturday that it had identified and disbanded a large US spy network with tens of branches, centers and nodes in different world countries, adding that it has arrested 30 spies during the operation.The ministry said it could disband a "complex sabotage and espionage network affiliated to the US spy agency (CIA) following a series of extensive intelligence and counter-espionage measures and operations inside and outside Iran". 

The statement further pointed out that senior CIA agents had created a number of nodes for this network in different world countries, and said these centers "which worked in disguise deceived Iranian citizens under different pretexts like job associations and educational centers to collect information and intelligence on Iran". "The network used a wide range of data bases and US embassies and consulates in several countries, specially in the UAE, Malaysia and Turkey, to collect information on Iran's scientific, research and academic centers in areas of nuclear energy, air and defense industries and biotechnology," the Iranian Intelligence Ministry said.
