Well of course we are going to have operatives in Iran, but I am left with a lingering question...Were these American citizens, or Israelis? I have a feeling that some of these spies were recruited as assets, since they were probably already Iranian citizens, and were in a certain position that could be exploited for information...or more.
That is the usual M.O. of the CIA in foreign countries. At least it used to be. I haven't read up on this particular occurrence, so I do not know if they were actual spies, or just civilian assets...Or maybe Iranian military.
