Rival Iranian spy factions shoot it out on Tehran's streets
On Aug. 23, just two days after Iran inaugurated its first nuclear reactor at Bushehr, debkafile’s exclusive sources report a shootout in the streets of Tehran flared between rival intelligence factions of the Ministry of Intelligence (MOIS) and the Revolutionary Guards (IRGC) – as mutual suspicions boiled over.
IRGC nuclear directors suspect politicians of betraying nuclear secrets to the West, while the MOIS sees disloyalty in the Ahmadinejad clique. The incident was blacked out by the regime.
