Iran's former
military chief, Hassan Firuzabadi, on Tuesday accused the Mossad and the
CIA of using lizards to "attract atomic waves" as part of their efforts
to spy on the Iranian nuclear program.
Firuzabadi, who headed the Iranian armed
forces from 1989 to 2016 and is now a top military adviser to Supreme
Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also said Western nations had often used
tourists, scientists and environmentalists to spy on Iran.
"Several years ago, some individuals came
to Iran to collect aid for Palestine. … We were suspicious of the route
they chose," he told the Iranian Labour News Agency.
They were carrying "a variety of reptile
desert species like lizards, chameleons. … We found out that their skin
attracts atomic waves and that they were nuclear spies who wanted to
find out where inside the Islamic Republic of Iran we have uranium mines
and where we are engaged in atomic activities," he said.
Firuzabadi's comments came amid reports
that a dual Iranian-Canadian citizen who reportedly killed himself in
custody had been sending information to the U.S. and Israeli
intelligence services.
Iran's official Islamic Republic News
Agency reported Tuesday that Kavous Seyed-Emami, 63, a renowned
professor and founder of the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation, had
been in custody for passing information on Iranian missile bases to the
CIA and Mossad and for planning to create an environmental crisis. The
report did not elaborate.
IRNA quoted Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari
Dolatabdi as saying Seyed-Emami and a network of people had installed
cameras in strategic areas of the country pretending to observe
environmental issues, but in fact the cameras were"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 did not elaborate.
On Monday, Iran said Seyed-Emami had
committed suicide. His death has sparked an outcry among the country's
academic and scientific communities.
According to Agence France-Presse, one of
the Persian Wildlife Heritage Foundation's key projects was monitoring
the endangered Asian cheetah, which meant it operated across large
swathes of Semnan province, home to military sites and missile-testing
grounds.
