  • Tehran had identified 290 U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) agents across different countries, forcing Washington to form a special committee to reassess its cloak-and-dagger operations.

He made references to what U.S. spy experts have described as a major intelligence defeat for America.

  • Alavi pointed to a November 2018 Yahoo News article that said Iran’s intelligence had gained access to a secret CIA communications system, allowing Iranians to not only discover and detain U.S. assets in the country, but also probably share key findings with Chinese and Russian authorities.
