Baku. Suleyman Farzaliyev â€“ APA. Iranian Intelligence Minister Heydar Moslehi said the Israelâ€™s Ron Arad Foundation, is actually a branch of Mossad working to enlist spies from Iran and neighbor countries, using its site, APA reports quoting Fars news agency. Moslehi adds that his ministry has discovered the identities of Iranian citizens who gave the foundation information and said that Iranian intelligence has found "a large number of people who made contact with this site". "We used some of these people in order to penetrate Mossad bases and that is how we have made use of them," Moslehi told IRNA. "Anyone who cooperated with the site and asked for money after handing over information was made fun of by the managers of the site," Moslehi said. He also urged others who may have cooperated to turn themselves in. "Those who do not come forward will get severe penalties in court," he warned.
Recently Iran announced it had uncovered an Israeli spy ring which was responsible for the assassination of nuclear scientist Massoud Ali Mohammadi in Tehran last year.
