US-Iran Cyber War Leads To Capture OF CIA Spy In Iran

Posted on 22 December 2011 by Tea Server



The budding cyber war between America and Iran could be quickly
transcending off of computer networks and into the real world, with the
US allegedly putting boots on the ground. Iranian state television is
reporting that they’ve captured a CIA spy.

Overseas media reported over the weekend that Amir Mirza Hekmati, a
20-something American man of Iranian heritage, was abducted by Iranian
forces, to whom he confessed that he has been in cahoots with the
Central Intelligence Agency.

According to a taped confession offered up by Hekmati, the spy was
apprehended by Iranian intelligence after being dispatched into the
country from a US base in neighboring Afghanistan. The spy says he had
been working out of Bagram near the country’s border with Iran in
preparation for a CIA-led mission that has been years in the making, but
despite assurance from American authorities that his cover would not be
blown, Iranian intelligence intercepted him and is now holding him
captive.

 Israeli news agency Debka is suggesting that
Iranian intelligence has managed to not just crack into the computer
networks of at least one American spy drone but also CIA headquarters in
Langley, Virginia outside of Washington DC. Following the downing of a
top-secret RQ-170 Sentinel stealth drone aircraft over Iran earlier this
month, military officials speaking under condition of anonymity to
Debka say that such a take-down could only have been conducted by
infiltrating the command center inside the actual CIA compound.

Insiders suggest that it would take the exact coordinates and times of
the dispatched drone for Iranian intelligence to hijack the craft, which
went down on December 4. With Hekmati now being apprehended after a
decade of briefing by way of the Department of Defense, it only further
establishes that Iran has indeed infiltrated the American intelligence
community, causing concern for all involved that the cyber war between
nations is quickly escalating to a battle involving not just robotic
planes but soldiers, spies and international, undercover attacks.
