High-Level Iranian Spy Uncovered at the U.S. Department of Defense
-
The espionage case reflects the dangers of lenient policies regarding Iranian-origin employees in sensitive positions within American institutions
American authorities have uncovered a deeply embedded spy network within the Pentagon corridors, with American official of Iranian descent, Ariane Tabatabai, emerging at the center of this shocking scandal.
Tabatabai, who holds the position of Chief of Staff at the Pentagon's Counter-Terrorism Office, had achieved a prestigious position in the American military establishment, despite her family's close ties to the Iranian regime, as her father is known to be very close to Iran's Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei.
The available information indicates Tabatabai's involvement in leaking highly classified documents regarding detailed Israeli plans to target Iranian nuclear facilities, exploiting her sensitive position at the Pentagon.
The role of "Maher Bitar," the Senior Director for Intelligence Programs at the White House National Security Council, emerged in supporting Tabatabai and consolidating her position within the American military establishment, leveraging his influence during former President Barack Obama's administration.
This case represents a devastating blow to the growing Iranian lobby in the United States, especially with the possibility of Donald Trump's return to power, which could lead to a comprehensive purge of Iranian influence networks in sensitive American institutions.
