Iran Says Iranian-Canadian Passed Information to CIA, Mossad
Iran’s official IRNA news agency reported that a dual Iranian and Canadian citizen who killed himself in custody was sending information to the U.S. and Israeli intelligence services.
The report Tuesday says Kavous Seyed-Emami, a university professor, was in custody for passing information on the country’s missile bases to the CIA and Mossad and planning to create an environmental crisis. The report didn’t elaborate.
IRNA quoted Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabdi as saying Seyed-Emami and a network of people installed cameras in strategic areas of the country pretending to observe environmental issues but, in fact, “it was for monitoring the country’s missile activities and they were sending images and information to foreigners.”
Dolatabdi said Seyed-Emami hosted one of two U.S. intelligence officers during their visit to Iran. He didn’t elaborate.
On Monday, Iran said Seyed-Emami took his own life.
