The Iranian nuclear scientist who says he was abducted a year ago by U.S. agents was an informant for the CIA inside Iran for several years, The New York Times reported on Thursday, citing U.S. officials.

Shahram Amiri returned to Tehran early on Thursday, saying he was pressured to lie about Iran's nuclear program. Washington denied kidnapping Amiri and insisted he had lived freely in the United States.

Officials said the scientist described to U.S. intelligence officers details of how a university in Tehran became the covert headquarters for Iran's nuclear efforts, the newspaper reported.

While still in Iran, he was also one of the sources for a much-disputed National Intelligence Estimate on Iran's suspected weapons program, published in 2007, the officials were cited as saying.

This story just keeps twisting. Any thoughts?

Its my opinion that the CIA now wants to see this individual become of no further use to Iran.
Definately this revelation (whether true or not) will end this persons standing and career as anything.It is very likely that he will be hanged for a traitor if he wasnt in danger of that already.......
Its obvious that, he will never live these allegations down in his own country.

Rubbish - this is total propaganda - he has returned to Iran, he was desparate to return to Iran.

Now, if he was a CIA spy, and the CIA outed him - why would he be in any rush to return to Iran?

The absurdity of these statements is self evident. This is disingenuous nonsense that only the mentally retarded would believe.

None of this would have come to light if he'd have changed his name to valerie plame

All right on so far I think.
