maaring totoong espiya ito dahil notorious ang CIA sa mga trabahong asasinasyon, kahypan laban sa malalayang nasyong gustong i.bully ni "great" uncle sam...pero dahil umamin, maari kayang i.pardon na lang??? good pr pa pag nagkataon para sa iran.
"Fars then reported Hekmati repeated his confession in court on December 27, saying "I was deceived by the CIA. Although I was appointed to break into Iran's intelligence systems and act as a new source for the CIA, I had no intention of undermining the country."
"Hekmati was also accused by Iran of receiving training at US bases in Afghanistan and Iraq before being sent to Iran."
