										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="summary">TEHRAN (<a href="https://www.irannewsdaily.com/">Iran News</a>) – CIA malign activities in China revealed. China has been in the crosshairs of the United States ever since it achieved a rarely seen economic growth in modern times, something that Washington is working its butt off to stop, or at least slow down.</p>
<p>Just recently, former U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo wrote a lengthy article accusing Chinese President Xi Jinping of pursuing an “unbridled ambition” to “mold the existing world order into a system of global governance controlled by Communist China through its prophesied future supremacy in all forms of international power.”</p>
<p>In the article for National Interest, Pompeo warned that “China, therefore, represents the greatest threat that America has faced in the modern era, for no other nation that has contested the United States has possessed China’s relative economic power or population.”</p>
<p>The U.S. has sought to use everything in its power to counter China. But little is known about the many ways Washington is using to “create chaos and havoc” across China.</p>
<p>The U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has resorted to a multilayered, multi-pronged scheme to destabilize China and derail its One Road One Belt initiative, the Tehran Times can reveal.</p>
<p>In a January 11 article, the Tehran Times briefly pointed to Imad Zuberi, an American spy who used his business cover to approach world leaders and the international business elite in a bid to spy for the U.S.</p>
<p>After more than a decade of spying for U.S. intelligence agencies, Zuberi was sentenced in February last year to 12 years in prison for alleged offenses ranging from tax evasion to foreign-influence peddling and campaign-finance violations.</p>
<p>The Tehran Times has learned that Zuberi was deeply implicated in spying for the CIA in China. He was operating under the supervision of a high-ranking CIA officer called Rob Kee, who is the former Station Chief of Afghanistan, Head of Near East Desk, and the Western Region Station Chief in Long Beach.</p>
<p>The CIA instructed Zuberi to undertake a variety of activities ranging from approaching some powerful people on Capitol Hill to establishing contacts with Muslim leaders of the Chinese Muslim minority as well as the members of the China Communist Party (CCP).</p>
<p>Under directions from Kee, Zuberi got close to a number of Congressmen, including Senator Lindsey Graham. The main reason for this was to use these people for “media propaganda purposes.” He succeeded in using Graham for such purposes.</p>
<p>Another reason was to push for a Congressional mandate to go against China as a country and its One Road One Belt initiative.</p>
<p>Zuberi’s mission against China also included incitement against Chinese living in Muslim Arab countries of the Persian Gulf, North Africa, and Afghanistan.</p>
<p>The CIA figured that one way to derail the One Road One Belt initiative is to use propaganda to exploit the Chinese internment of Muslims using media outlets in America and beyond. The underlying reason for that was that the Chinese BRI project is running through several of the 59 Muslim countries.</p>
<p>Zuberi played a pivotal role in executing this strategy. On instructions from Kee, he traveled to China to visit mosques in several cities in China in order to find Muslim leaders.</p>
<p>Using his connections in the Persian Gulf Cooperation Countries (GCC) and Turkish halal food companies supplying Chinese Muslims with that kind of food, Zuberi socialized well with Chinese Muslims.</p>
<p>He collected locations, photos, and names of leaders of Uyghur Muslims, Hui Muslims, Xidaotang Muslims, and Yihewani Muslims as well as major mosques in the regions of Shanghai, Beijing, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Ningxia, Gansu, and Qinghai. Zuberi sent all the information he collected to Kee.</p>
<p>He also paid money to his assets in China from his own bank accounts and was instructed to not disclose to his assets that he was paying them on behalf of the CIA. In other words, the CIA wasn’t willing to have its Chinese assets knowing they were being exploited by it.</p>
<p>Zuberi returned to Long Beach with all the information he collected from China and met with CIA China experts to review information. At Langley, he thoroughly discussed his espionage activities in China. He also provided the CIA with information not only related to Chinese Muslims but also to members of the CCP whom he helped bring to America, namely Las Vegas.</p>
<p>So, what was all that for? Zuberi himself answered this question. He said the idea was to create chaos and havoc across China. Zuberi explicitly said that the CIA was seeking to replicate its fomenting of Hong Kong in other places in China. According to Zuberi, the CIA destabilized Hong Kong to undermine Beijing’s authority in the city.</p>
<p>Zuberi noted that U.S. senators and House representatives went to Hong Kong or accused China of creating a civil war in the city and killing innocent people when in fact the U.S. and CIA were doing this.</p>
<p>This isn’t new to the CIA. It has long been involved in malign activities across the world.</p>
<p>In the recent unrest in Kazakhstan, many observers pointed the finger of the blame on the U.S. which has been keeping an eye on Kazakhstan due to its long borders with Russia. This has been raised in a recent private meeting of General Frank McKenzie, the outgoing commander of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM). McKenzie said in the meeting that “when you are doing business in Kazakhstan you’ve got to recognize that Kazakhstan has a land border with Russia that is as long as our border with Canada. So, geography is destiny for playing with central Asia states.”</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="summary">TEHRAN (<a href="https://www.irannewsdaily.com/">Iran News</a>) – CIA chief meets grumbling Israelis ahead of Vienna talks. The director of the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency, William Burns, met with Israel’s leaders to discuss a variety of issues, including Iran, amid growing tensions between Iran and Israel in the wake of a suspicious attack on an Israeli-operated oil tanker near the United Arab Emirates.</p>
<p>The U.S. spy chief met with the head of the Mossad spy agency David Barnea on Tuesday night. During the meeting, the two sides discussed “the Iranian nuclear issue and additional regional challenges about which the organizations intend to cooperate,” according to a statement by the Israeli premiership.</p>
<p>On Wednesday, Burns met with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in Tel Aviv. “The two discussed tightening intelligence and security cooperation between Israel and the U.S., as well as the situation in the Middle East, especially Iran, and possibilities for expanding and deepening regional cooperation,” the premier’s office statement added.</p>
<p>A number of other senior intelligence, military, and political officials such as Barnea, incoming National Security Council head Eyal Hulata, the Prime Minister&#8217;s Military Secretary Maj.-Gen. Avi Gil and diplomatic adviser Shimrit Meir also attended the meeting.</p>
<p>Burns is slated to pay a visit to Ramallah in the West Bank to meet Palestinian leaders, something that suggests the U.S. spy chief’s visit is not focused on one single issue. However, Israeli media outlets highlighted the Iran issue in the talks Burns held with the Israeli officials.</p>
<p>These outlets even resorted to unsourced reports to libel the new Iranian president, Ayatollah Seyed Ebrahim Raisi. Israel’s Channel 12 claimed in an unsourced report that the Mossad chief presented Burns with information allegedly indicating that the Iranian president is untrustworthy and incapable of negotiating a new nuclear deal or sticking to his commitments, according to the Times of Israel.</p>
<p>This came at a time when the U.S. government has largely remained silent on the agenda of the CIA director during his visit to Israel.</p>
<p>The Israelis feel increasingly isolated on Iran as Washington and Tehran prepare to return to Vienna in the coming weeks to overcome the remaining issues relating to the process of resuscitating a 2015 nuclear deal, officially known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA).</p>
<p>The last round of JCPOA talks was held before Iran’s presidential elections in June with some key differences remained unresolved. The Vienna talks were stalled due in part to the transition period in Iran. The U.S. continued insistence on the preservation of sanctions and its refusal to give guarantees that it will not withdraw from the nuclear deal again were among the reasons for the stumbling of the talks.</p>
<p>A few weeks after the conclusion of the sixth round of talks, the U.S. and its European allies began pressuring Iran to return to Vienna. But Iranian diplomats have asked for more time until after the transition.</p>
<p>With the transition period is almost done, Iran seems to be poised to resume the Vienna talks. In a recent phone conversation with French President Emanuel Macron, Ayatollah Raisi implied that there would be another round of negotiations. “In any negotiation, the rights of the Iranian people must be upheld and the interests of our nation must be ensured,” he told Macron.</p>
<p>Iran is also in the process of recalibrating its negotiating strategy, with a reconsideration of the outcome of the previous rounds of talks looming large on the horizon. And this is of much concern to Israel, which is using everything in its power, from orchestrating false flag operations on the high seas to intensifying tensions with Lebanon’s Hezbollah, to cajole the U.S. into giving up on diplomacy with Iran.</p>
<p>The Israelis seem to be concerned about the resumption of nuclear talks. They are seeking to persuade the U.S. that it’s of no use negotiating with the new president of Iran. “Israel warned the American visitor that Iran’s strategy now is to place obstacles on the path to diplomacy with endless ploys so as to play for time to consummate its nuclear weapons program,” Israel’s DEBKAfile website, known for its closeness to the Israeli intelligence community, said of Burns’ visit to Tel Aviv.</p>
<p>Over the past few weeks, the U.S has enlisted the help of Israel in ramping up pressure on Iran in a bid to make it return to the Vienna talks. This included American corroboration of Israel’s unfounded claims that Iran attacked the M/V Mercer Street ship and attempted to highjack a number of commercial ships in the Gulf of Oman.</p>
<p>Iran strongly denied any involvement in all of these alleged incidents.</p>
<p>During the hiatus in the nuclear talks, a sort of convergence emerged between Tel Aviv and Washington. But once the talks are resumed a divergence would be in the cards. Because the U.S. stated goal is to get the JCPOA revived in the near future while Israel works to prevent any deal between Iran and the U.S. And this is all the more reason why the U.S. needs to be careful about Israeli sabotage.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TEHRAN (<a href="https://www.irannewsdaily.com/">Iran News</a>) &#8211; In the news reports I read that the U.S. Senate on Wednesday, March 3 approved veteran U.S. diplomat William Burns as the new<a href="https://irannewsdaily.com/category/international/"> U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) director</a>. One of the important goals of the Democrat Party in the 2020 U.S. presidential election campaign was that Joe Biden had announced he intended to pick Burns as the CIA director. Burns was once deputy secretary of state during Barack Obama&#8217;s presidency.</p>
<p>A slight study and investigation will tell us who Burns is and why the Democrat Party and Biden have chosen him for this sensitive post. This pick makes clearer an important part of the change in the U.S. foreign policy. With a short search on the internet, you will notice that Burns retired from the U.S. Department of State in 2014 and was one of the U.S. negotiating team with Iran over its nuclear program and you will also notice why and with what goal he has been picked by Biden for the CIA post.</p>
<p>Burns is a veteran diplomat which has had good relations with Biden in different times. When Biden was the U.S. Senate Committee on Foreign Relations chairman, he used to cooperate with Burns. Burns has good interactions with other Biden Administration members especially with National Security Advisor to U.S. President Jake Sullivan.</p>
<p>Media outlets like the New York Times have written on this pick that Biden by choosing Burns has intended to transfer this message to his friends and foes that the CIA is not under influence of the politics. Burns’ experience as a consumer of intelligence and not a producer of intelligence has caused that him becomes the most appropriate choice for this sensitive post because CIA directors are expected to put aside their policy recommendations and focus on information and prediction. Still, former agency officials have asserted the most important quality in a director is not expertise in intelligence, but a relationship with the president, which Mr. Burns has.</p>
<p>In the past, Burns has been part of the U.S. Freemason community and the President of Carnegie Endowment for International Peace who had strived for preparing the appropriate economic ground with the symbol of international peace. In 2014 and after 32 years in the U.S. Department of State he retired, and in the past two decades, he has played role in the most important and critical conditions. He was opposed to the U.S. attack on Iraq, and in 2002 he announced explicitly his opposition to it in the U.S. media.</p>
<p>In his profile, it is seen that he has been the U.S. ambassador to Moscow and Jordan. He has also experience as deputy secretary of state in his profile and has served both during the Democrats and Republican rulings. During Obama&#8217;s presidency and the nuclear talks with Iran, Burns was in the U.S. negotiating team and he was one of the behind-the-scene influential members of the p5+1 and paved the way for the 2015 nuclear deal.</p>
<p>Appointing Burns who was one of the ardent critics of Donald Trump’s policies like the U.S. pullout of the JCPOA and assassination of Martyr Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani can be interpreted as the shift of the U.S. foreign policy into a different era especially that Trump during his presidency had tried to reduce the importance of the intelligence service officials in the structure of the U.S. policy-making system, and reacting to the analysis about the threat against the U.S. national security by Iran, Trump called the intelligence officials passive and naïve who follow Europe’s path.</p>
<p>In criticizing Trump&#8217;s policies, Burns rejects Trump’s maximum pressure on Iran and believes that this incorrect action by Trump has made him fail to materialize his policies against Iran. The Israeli newspaper the Jerusalem Post, which is one of the key Zionist regime newspapers, writes about Burns, “Some former U.S. intelligence officials told the Post Burns also may be more hesitant to take aggressive covert actions and strikes and may express more skepticism about Iran-related intelligence originating from Middle Eastern countries such as Israel.”</p>
<p>With collecting and reading articles on Burns one can have his primary judgment that Burns is a diplomat who enjoys a great deal of respect and credibility among the Democrats and the Republicans and according to the Wall Street Journal, he has a great deal of experience in the security and sensitive fundamentalism.</p>
<p>The essential question which is raised is how Burns can work with Avril Hunter who is Biden’s choice for the National Security Agency (NSA). Biden’s transition team has said that Ms. Hunter will be the top intelligence official in the administration and she does not intend to officially add the CIA to the cabinet.</p>
<p>What will Burns do about Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Israel? How will he act? And how will he define the strategy for getting close to Iran? Perhaps we may not be able to predict Burn’s four-year policy just in his early days at the CIA but what can be understood from his characteristics and background is that he has changed the open confrontation between the U.S. and China that Trump had concealed behind it, and he will alleviate China’s concern for drawing its reserves from the U.S. and this policy will be able to have a sustainable effect on the declining U.S. economy.</p>
<p>Today the U.S. is facing two important and sometimes contradictory challenges: whether it rebuilds the U.S. reputation or focuses on direct economic goals. In other words, instead of compromising with China, it compromises with Saudi Crown Prince Bin Salman or sacrifice Bin Salman for the U.S. reputation in democracy and human rights issues and seek to save the country’s economy by getting closer to China.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>TEHRAN (<a href="https://irannewsdaily.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Iran News</a>) – Iran’s Judiciary executed a man convicted of spying for the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Israeli spy service Mossad.</p>
<div class="story" data-readmoretitle="Read more">
<p>The death sentence was carried out against Seyed Mahmoud Mousavi Majd at dawn on Monday, according to local reports.</p>
<p>In June, Iran’s judiciary announced that Mousavi Majd had worked as a spy for the CIA and Mossad and given them intelligence on the whereabouts and movements of Iranian top commander Lt. General Qassem Soleimani, who was killed by the US in Iraq in early January.</p>
<p>It added that the case of the informant had nothing to do with the American assassination of General Soleimani as he had been arrested four months before the top general’s martyrdom.</p>
<p>Lt. General Soleimani, Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, who was the deputy head of Iraq’s Hashd al-Sha&#8217;abi (PMU), and a number of their entourage were killed in a strike by American drones near Baghdad International Airport on January 3.</p>
<p>The White House and the Pentagon claimed responsibility for the assassination of General Soleimani in Iraq, saying the attack was carried out at the direction of US President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>In the early hours of January 8, the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) targeted the US airbase of Ain al-Assad in retaliation for the US move.</p>
<p>Earlier this month, a retired employee of Iran’s Defense Ministry was hanged for providing the US with information on Iranian missiles.</p>
<p>The spy, named Reza Askari, was put to death for spying for the CIA.</p>
<p>After retirement from the Defense Ministry’s Aerospace Department in 2012, the executed convict was connected with the CIA, sold information on the production of Iranian missiles, and received the money in exchange.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ivanka Trump: All of Us Were Scared</p>
<p>When Iran’s gasoline was being shipped to Venezuela, the U.S. had been gripped with an unimaginable anxiety. In another words, President Donald Trump was facing with a dilemma of either having a peaceful or hostile approach to it. He could hit the first vessel but he did not do it. That why he did not hit the vessel was unclear in the first days but gradually its reason was revealed.</p>
<p><a href="https://irannewsdaily.com/">IRAN NEWS</a> POLITICAL DESK</p>
<p>The Financial Times daily in an article quoted U.S. President’s daughter Ivanka Trump, on what went on between Iran and the U.S. in the past month, as saying, “When Iran’s statement on its shipment of fuel to Venezuela was revealed by our friends inside Iran, immediately the Democrats, the Republicans, CIA officers and military generals held a secret meeting, and during the meeting Secretary of State Mike Pompeo explicitly expressed his concern. But my father, Donald Trump, announced coolly that it is stupid and Iran will not commit such a move. They cannot mess with our big army, and with just few drones and warships the case will be closed. General Michael Terry one of the high-ranking military officials in the meeting said that if Iran’s vessels move towards Venezuela, they will face with our warships and they will be surrounded from air and sea and fuels of the vessels will be confiscated and taken to the UK via the Caribbean Sea and the crew and captains of the vessels would be taken to the U.S. My father Donald Trump expressed his satisfaction and began applauding and praising and had a thumbs-up for it. Ms. Jonson, deputy director of CIA on research and planning, with a humiliating rhetoric said it is very naïve to think Iran will retreat completely. Iranians have changed their strategy of defense into an attacking tactic and they have prepared a squadron of angry rangers and ready to set traps, and this move may be their plot to destroy all of the U.S. bases and troops in the Middle East. Ladies and Gentlemen, Iran is equipped with a very sophisticated and precision weapon that with the smallest uncalculated mistake, they would destroy us. I recommend no fire, no obstacle and no warning because Iran has prepped several reactions for any action and they have responses to any plan of ours. They have practiced for years for having their responses to us. When we were busy with our void political games and regime change with our allies, Iran was busy with producing weapons, missiles, drones and submarines. So the U.S. position has weakened in recent six months. When the Congress leaders of Democrats and Republicans were at war with Bin Salman and Arab kings’ petro-dollars, unity in Iran was strengthened by the launch of a satellite. Clerics have been impressed by the armed forces in a way that the issue of cultural or anti-cultural attacks by the Israeli and Saudi Arabian satellite TVs has lost their color. If we hit their gasoline reservoirs, we will be targeted by their missiles from long distances which have been under their scrutiny for long time. Targeting some reservoirs will equal to the loss of hundreds of refineries and bases. So it is better to find a better solution than military threat for confronting Iran. At the end of the three-hour long meeting and speeches of nine high-ranking participants, they reached this conclusion that compromise is the best option on the table.”</p>
<p>That Donald Trump’s daughter in the mass media reveals strategic secrets of the White House is either out of naiveté or she deeply opposes the U.S. hostile policies and she has chosen to reveal the information to the world for justifying the cowardly behavior of the White House. And the world uses   all of these information and facts as their yardstick for drawing this conclusion that they are better to divert their direction from the U.S. path in dealing with Iran and they will choose it.</p>
<p>The soft and hard processes of the Islamic Revolution’s policies in facing with sanctions have been, since the first days, to find the factors behind sanctions and to nullify them. Hence, military power of Iran and its intelligence dominance will lead to the White House’s daily retreats.</p>

<p><a href="https://irannewsdaily.com/">IRAN NEWS</a> NATIONAL DESK</p>
<p>TEHRAN &#8211; Judiciary’s spokesman Gholam-Hossein Esmaeili Mahmoud Mousavi Majd who was linked with CIA and Mossad and has provided them with intelligence from security bodies, especially armed forces like IRGC was sentenced to death.</p>
<p>Esmaeili stated that Mousavi Majd had disclosed information on the location of Iranian military sites and commanders.</p>
<p>He added that the convict had connections with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and the Israeli espionage service Mossad.</p>
<p>In exchange for receiving dollars, the spy gathered intelligence for the CIA and Mossad on the Iranian security sphere and Armed Forces, including on the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) Quds Forces.</p>
<p>On the release of Michael White, an American citizen from prison, he said, &#8220;This was a humanitarian action within the framework of laws and regulations and Iran also tried to free innocent Iranians by releasing Michael White.&#8221;</p>
<p>Esmaeli added, &#8220;The Judiciary&#8217;s contribution to the release of American prisoners helped the release of some of our innocent compatriots who were imprisoned in the United States.&#8221;</p>
<p>The spokesman referred to the leniencies given to the release of American prisoner and said: &#8220;This person (Michael White) also had a private plaintiff (relator), and after the consent of the complainant, leniencies were considered for this prisoner.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added,&#8221; White had AIDS and it was possible that a problem would happen to him, but fortunately it did not. He with a serious illness was imprisoned in such a way that not only did his illness not worsen, but he also went through a process of recovery and was released.&#8221;</p>
<p>Esmaeili added: &#8220;The issue of prisoners and detainees is the responsibility of the judiciary, and without the permission of the judiciary, there will be no talk of releasing prisoners, and it is better those who are not responsible for this do not promise the release of foreign prisoners. The judiciary itself decides which prisoner can be released, but we use the views of the Supreme National Security Council.&#8221;</p>
<p>On the Ukrainian passenger plane crash, the spokesman said, 6 people have been arrested in this regard.</p>
<p>He also urged government officials to avoid giving any promise on the release of other prisoners without coordination with the Judiciary.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="lead">TEHRAN (<a href="https://irannewsdaily.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Iran News</a>) – The CIA and German intelligence spied on the secret communications of governments around the world for decades in a covert partnership, controlling Crypto AG company and installing backdoor vulnerabilities in its products.</p>
<p>Founded during the Second World War, the Swiss cryptography firm, Crypto AG, has provided top-of-the-line devices for encoding communications to some 120 countries. Starting in 1970, however, the CIA and then-West Germany’s foreign intelligence service, the BND, secretly bought and controlled the company, using its devices to eavesdrop on enemies and allies alike, according to a joint investigation by the Washington Post and German public broadcaster ZDF, based on a classified internal CIA history.</p>
<p>First dubbed “Thesaurus” and later renamed to “Rubicon,” the CIA hailed the decades-long operation as the “intelligence coup of the century” in its classified history, RT reported.</p>
<p>Foreign governments were paying good money to the US and West Germany for the privilege of having their most secret communications read by at least two&#8230; foreign countries.</p>
<p>Though the intelligence agencies formed a relationship with the firm soon after World War II, they would step up their role in 1970 following a $5 million deal to take over the company. From there, the agencies controlled virtually every part of Crypto AG’s operations, ranging from hiring decisions, directing sales targets, and designing its high-tech encryption devices – with secret backdoors accessible only to them, of course.</p>
<p>The company’s clients, none of whom were ever made aware of the intelligence agency involvement, included Iran, various Latin American governments, India, Pakistan and even the Vatican. Throughout the 1980s, some 40 percent of all diplomatic cables and other government transmissions analyzed by the US National Security Agency (NSA) ran through Crypto AG’s devices, suggesting the agencies drew a vast amount of material from the eavesdropping operation.</p>
<p>The CIA ran a victory lap over the apparent success of Rubicon in its 96-page history, gloating:</p>
<p>Imagine the idea of the American government convincing a foreign manufacturer to jimmy equipment in its favor… Talk about a brave new world.</p>
<p>While both China and the former Soviet Union were distrustful of Crypto AG and never made use of its products during Rubicon’s Cold War heyday, the compromised devices were used to gather intelligence during a number of high-profile geopolitical events.</p>
<p>Crypto AG made millions of dollars throughout the nearly 50-year operation, with the profits split between the two agencies. While the BND reportedly used some of the funds to finance its own field operations, the CIA leveraged its proceeds to buy up competing for cryptography firms, apparently hoping to corner the market and funnel sales into Crypto.</p>
<p>The BND bowed out of the arrangement in 1993 over what the CIA termed a “storm of publicity,” after a Crypto employee was imprisoned in Iran. The CIA, however, simply bought up the BND’s share afterward and kept the operation running until 2018 when it is thought to have sold off the company’s assets. By then, the firm’s prominence had waned with the rise of cheaper internet encryption technology, although it remains unclear whether the CIA ever entirely cut ties with the company.</p>
<p>The company’s current owners – who since rebranded the firm as Crypto International – have denied any knowledge of involvement with intelligence agencies, however.</p>
<p>“We at Crypto AG International have never had any relationship with the CIA or BND – and please quote me,” company chairman Andreas Linde told the Post.</p>
<p>“If what you are saying is true, then absolutely I feel betrayed, and my family feels betrayed, and I feel there will be a lot of employees who will feel betrayed as well as customers.”</p>
<p>The Swiss government, meanwhile, ordered an investigation into the alleged decades-long intelligence-gathering operation on Tuesday.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>CIA Spy in Iran Sentenced to Death</p>
<p><a href="https://irannewsdaily.com/">IRAN NEWS</a> NATIONAL DESK</p>
<p>TEHRAN &#8211; Judiciary spokesman said on Tuesday that the spy who had passed Iran&#8217;s nuclear information to the Central Intelligence Agency of the US (CIA) is sentenced to death.</p>
<p>Saying that the verdict will be implemented soon, Gholam-Hossein Esmaeeli said in his press conference that the sentenced CIA agent, Amir Rahimour, had received handsome amounts from the US for this job.</p>
<p>Esmaeeli said that the Supreme Court of Iran has also confirmed the verdict.</p>
<p>The U.S. has repeatedly showed its enmity with Iran in several cases in the past 40 years, including the Iraqi invasion of Iran (1980-88) which was de facto imposed by the U.S., Operation of Tabas (1980), shooting down Iran Air Flight 655 (1988) and as the latest case, assassination of the IRGC commander Lieutenant -General Qasem Soleimani (2020) and the sanctions.</p>
<p>He went on to say that the U.S. constantly uses espionage as another way of inflicting blows to Iran.</p>
<p>He said they have not been victorious in any of their methods, and the Zionist and U.S. spies are uncovered and punished one by one, which has been a hard blow to the U.S. espionage system.</p>
<p>The supporters of such people should know that Iran does not compromise with enemies, especially foreign ones, he said, adding that recently two other Iranians were arrested with espionage accusations. They did their spying activities in form of charity organizations; they were sentenced to 10 years of imprisonment for espionage and another five years for acting against security.</p>
<p>He did not reveal their names because their sentences have not been finalized.</p>
<p>On the complaint of Martyr Lieutenant General Qasem Soleimani&#8217;s family and the Judiciary against those behind his assassination and filing a lawsuit said that the assassination of Gen. Soleimani is a clear indication of state terrorism.</p>
<p>The official underscored that measures have been taken both at the Judiciary and at the Foreign Ministry, but the families of the martyrs said they would file a complaint after the ceremony to mark his 40 days&#8217; martyrdom.&#8221;</p>
<p>He added, &#8220;A case has been filed in Iraq that we are pursuing and they are pursuing the case seriously and we will follow up in the international court.&#8221;</p>
<p>Pointing to the Coronavirus and the cancellation of flights to China and related issues, the spokesman said: &#8220;We heard about the cancellation of flights and a flight was charted to China to bring Iranian students back.&#8221;</p>
<p>Elsewhere in his remarks, the Judiciary spokesman stated that the electoral campaign should not be about accusing rivals.</p>
<p>&#8220;I urge the candidates of the Majlis and their supporters to observe the law and regulations in the election propaganda process. Those who want to serve people and society in the legislation should themselves be the best symbol of respecting the laws and avoiding destruction, accusing rivals,&#8221; Esmeeli stated.</p>
<p>The spokesman noted, &#8220;Soon we expect two epics. The epics of re-emergence of the people on 22 Bahman and a nationwide march on the anniversary of the victory of the revolution. Our next expectation is the parliamentary elections in which the people will show their permanent presence in the elections, as the Islamic Republic of Iran has held numerous elections more than any other country.&#8221;</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>All White House Elements Should Be Recognized as Terrorists</p>
<p>Nowadays any news is explosive. American news TV Channel NBC revealed new details about how Martyr Lieutenant Qassem Soleimani and his comrades were assassinated during the terrorist operation of the U.S. forces in Iraq and it actually reveals some kind of state terrorism. So Americans should pull their hat down more and more over their faces to cover their disgrace.</p>
<p><a href="https://irannewsdaily.com/">IRAN NEWS</a> POLITICAL DESK</p>
<p>NBC has prepared the report based on interviews with two people directly familiar with the details of the operation, as well as other American officials who were briefed on it.</p>
<p>In the report, NBC claims the operation started from Damascus and it is still unknown which group or current had spied the details of Martyr Soleimani’s flight and visit to Baghdad. Armed with a tip from informants at the airport in the Syrian capital of Damascus, the CIA knew exactly when a jet carrying Martyr Soleimani took off en route to Baghdad.</p>
<p>NBC claims once the Cham Wings Airlines Airbus A320 landed, American spies at Iraq’s main airport, confirmed its exact whereabouts. CIA Director Gina Haspel was observing from agency headquarters in Langley, Virginia. Secretary of Defense Mark Esper was watching from another location. Another feed was on view in the White House, but President Donald Trump was in Florida at the time.</p>
<p>The imagery showed two senior figures, Hajj Qassem Soleimani and Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis, get into a sedan, which pulled away. The rest of the entourage climbed into a minivan, which sped to catch up.</p>
<p>The drones followed as the vehicles began moving to exit the airport. Three American drones moved into position overhead, with no fear of challenge in an Iraqi airspace completely dominated by the U.S. military. Each was armed with four Hellfire missiles.</p>
<p>On large screens, various U.S. officials watched as an Iraqi militia leader walked up a set of stairs to greet the leader of Iran’s Quds Force Al-Muhandis as he emerged from the airplane. It was past 1 in the morning, so the black and white infrared imagery wasn’t very clear. No faces could be seen.</p>
<p>According to the revealed intelligence it was clear that at the Baghdad airport, Martyr Soleimani would be greeted by al-Muhandis, the deputy head of an Iraqi anti-American militia and a suspect in the bombing of the American and French embassies in Kuwait in 1983.</p>
<p>According to NBC reports, the drones that followed the convoy. There was no hint that the men in the vehicles knew they were being targeted.</p>
<p>Signals intelligence specialists sought to hone in on the cellphones of the occupants to confirm their identities. Years of mapping and terrain information from satellites was available on the screens of the drone operators.</p>
<p>After informants confirmed the identities of passengers in the sedans, the U.S. Central Command forward headquarters in Qatar, from where the operation was run, ordered the drones to fire four missiles to vehicles and after the strike, there were no survivors.</p>
<p>After diffusion of explosive news of assassination of Martyr Soleimani, U.S. Defense Department  (Pentagon) took the responsibility for martyrdom of Lieutenant General Soleimani and his comrades on the soil of a foreign country, namely Iraq,  and in a shameless and insulting statement and without any denial announced that the operation was carried out at the order of President Donald Trump.</p>
<p>We begin the 21<sup>st</sup> Century in a condition that those countries which defend human rights officially and without any consideration take action, reveal  their real natures, coming out of disguise of democracy, human rights and the U.N.</p>
<p>I think they move hurriedly to override the rights of nations so that there will remain no trace of their survival because hand of revenge of Almighty God is above all hands.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>U.S. Strategy Shift With Creating Riot</p>
<p>The turning point for the U.S. focus on changing its strategy of sending  troops and waging war with military tools in the Middle East is when the U.S. advanced drone was downed by Iranian missile in southern border of Iran, namely in the Persian Gulf, and the IRGC warned of taking retaliatory act against 24 U.S. military bases in the Persian Gulf or other regions.</p>
<p><a href="https://irannewsdaily.com/">IRAN NEWS</a> POLITICAL DESK</p>
<p>In this regard, U.S. President Donald Trump admitted, “First we decided to retaliate but after receiving radar signal warning, we changed our mind.” So in such a disarray, what could the U.S. do to get rid of this disgrace? This military-centered hegemony doctrine of the U.S. had failed and ultimately it needed a new doctrine to recover its damaged reputation and its allies’ too. So the doctrine of creating riots and chaos in the target states like Lebanon, Iraq and Iran was raised to have slightest cost and it, to some extent , provided the pretext for compensatory propagation.</p>
<p>With a search in the news, we find some interesting news items. Some of the U.S. research and think-tank centers had earlier warned about possible civil war in Lebanon and had pointed to the riot as one of the plans of the U.S. government, Zionist and Arab regimes in the region.</p>
<p>Some analysts and western study and research centers had predicted  the current development in Lebanon since long time ago. International analysts and Geopolitics Alert editor in chief, Randi Nord, on April 1, 2019, and in an article announced that during his visit with U.S. Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo, Lebanese President Michel Aoun reportedly received a U.S.-Israeli document detailing plans for creating a civil war in Lebanon with covert false flag operations and possible Israeli invasion.</p>
<p>This prudent political analyst had also warned of launching a likely chemical attack on civilians in Syria or even direct attacks on Lebanese or Israeli civilians to blame on Hezbollah and justify international intervention. This scenario could justify Israel’s military intervention in Lebanon.</p>
<p>An independent Lebanon-based journalist Sonja van den Ende in an article published on November 1 in the One World (oneworld.press) website warned about creation of chaos in Syria and later in Lebanon. She emphasized that Americans and Zionists have plans for Lebanon. So by turning to this doctrine and method, they laid the ground for making the hostility a trans-regional issue.</p>
<p>Saudi Arabia’s money, MKO’s infiltration and the policies which were exposed after the arrest of an anti-Iran website Ruhollah Zam showed that all these three countries should have experienced riots and chaos by the end of 2019.</p>
<p>That these plans in Lebanon, Iraq and Iran were linked with which domestic currents to pave the ground for carrying out the doctrine is a lengthy issue which does not fit with this article, but the result of operation for creating riots which could be the ground for future scenarios for Iraq is considered as part of the doctrine of creating chaos.</p>
<p>In Lebanon, protests and unrests led to resignation of the government because Lebanon President Saad Hariri had harmonized some part of his policies with Saudi Arabia and he resigned very soon before showing any resistance. But in Iran and Iraq both governments did not resign and this resistance can be effective in changing the U.S. strategy after finding ineffectiveness of their new doctrine.</p>
<p>Supreme Leader Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei has once and again mentioned this matter “The U.S. has done whatever it could do in the region, and what it has bot not do because it has been unable to do.”</p>
<p>So after the blade of this U.S. doctrine losing its sharpness, on the eve of 2020 one should wait for new strategy from the CIA, Mossad and intelligence service of Saudi Arabia for continuing hostility against Iran in order to pursue their destructive goals in the region.</p>
