Trump Blasts Irans Totally False Claim To Have Sentenced CIA Spies To Death

(Daily Star) Patrick Knox Jon Rogers Jul 22 2019 23:12 DONALD TRUMP has slammed claims Iran smashed an American spy ring as just more lies and propaganda. It comes after an Iranian intelligence ministry official appeared in a state TV documentary which brags about capturing CIA spies and sentencing some of them to death. The program describes a CIA spy operation which involved recruiting Iranian civilians to steal secrets on the promise they could emigrate to America. But it appears to be vague on detail which raises questions about its validity. An official appears but who did not give his name and was only identified as the director of the counterespionage department of Irans Intelligence Ministry. He claimed none of the 17 agents who were caught had succeeded in their missions. He said: Those who deliberately betrayed the country were handed to the judiciary... some were sentenced to death and some to long-term imprisonment. Western looking people are also featured in the program and are alleged to be the spies handlers.
