TEHRAN — Iran fired a new salvo on Wednesday in what is becoming a bizarre propaganda war over the supposed defection and later return of an Iranian nuclear scientist, with Iran’s semiofficial media suggesting that he was a covert operative who had provided “valuable information” about the Central Intelligence Agency’s inner workings.
American officials have said that the scientist, Shahram Amiri, was a C.I.A. informant for years in Iran, providing “significant” information about Iran’s nuclear program and voluntarily defecting to the United States in 2009. Mr. Amiri returned to Iran last week, saying he had been abducted and tortured by American authorities.

My Comment: The Iranians are very blunt that Shahram Amiri is a double agent. Should I doubt them? Hmmmm .... they have nothing to gain otherwise, so there is probably "some truth" to their story.
