	Iran Focus-One agent’s tortuous path throws light on VEVAK methods - Terrorism - News
		It was giving instructions to a group of VEVAK recruits, all former MeK members, to go to Europe, apply for political asylum, and begin a new disinformation exercise against the MeK, alleging a range of human rights abuses by MeK against its former members.
		VEVAK officers soon saw a talented agent in Sobhani and earmarked him for a difficult mission: infiltration of the opposition group, the People’s Mujahedeen.
		In an internal VEVAK report dated February 20, 2002, Ramin Darami, a member of the Sobhani ring, wrote to Haj Saeed, his new handler, "After we entered Iran through legal channels [from Iraq], we were sent to Marmar Hotel in Tehran and were given a high-level reception.

		VEVAK officers want to use political asylum as a cover for his activities.
		Another source said that VEVAK agents in Iran are sent to the homes of relatives of MeK supporters, forcing them to call their families abroad and state that if they refuse to return, intelligence agents would arrest the family members in Iran or murder the activists themselves.
		VEVAK is taking advantage of European deals with the clerical regime to set the stage for further murders and assassinations”, another source stated.

	Lebanonwire.com \| Iran’s parallel security agencies: the wrong target?
		The operational secrecy of VEVAK is tempered by a curious propensity for scholarly discourse and self-criticism.
		It was VEVAK that was behind the production of a two-volume work on the rise and fall of the Pahlavi dynasty, which offered a “security-intelligence” approach to analyzing the emergence and decline of political elites in pre-revolutionary Iran.
		VEVAK’s attempts to balance operational and institutional secrecy with a measure of ethical transparency was best exemplified by its admission in January 1999 that “rogue” elements within its ranks had carried out the “serial murders” of dissidents in 1998.

		Le VEVAK travaille en coordination avec le ministère des affaires étrangères dans les opérations menées à l’étranger, faisant un usage particulier des ambassades iraniennes à travers le monde comme centre de collecte de renseignements et de caches pour les agents impliqués dans les activités terroristes.
		Sur le plan intérieur, les agents du VEVAK passent par des tests rigoureux avant de se voir décerner un permis d’agir et doivent se montrer dignes de confiance pour participer aux opérations qui impliquent les plus hauts niveaux du régime,.
		Le régime a ainsi évité toute fuite d’information brûlante sur les opérations du VEVAK.

		One of the usual tactics of VEVAK is to co-opt academia to its purposes.
		In late October, 2005, VEVAK sent three of its agents to Washington to stage a press event in which the principal Iranian resistance movement, the Mojahedin-e Khalq (MeK), was to be slandered.
		Veteran VEVAK agent Karim Haqi flew from Amsterdam to Canada where he was joined by VEVAK's Ottawa agents Amir-Hossein Kord Rostami and Mahin (Parvin-Mahrokh) Haji, and the three flew from Toronto to Washington.

		Zarrabi is not an employee of VEVAK, he must be a "true believer" as he is a good spokesman for the policy objectives of the Islamic Republic of Iran and a fine apologist for the regime.
		Again, it may be that Amirahmadi is not on the VEVAK payroll, but his lengthy history of service to the current regime and his longstanding avowed policy of reconciliation with the present regime indicate his being what used to be termed a "fellow traveler".
		VEVAK's chief, cabinet minister Hojatoleslam Gholam-Hussein Mohseni-Ezhei, must be very pleased with what they are trying to do for the regime.

		In 1998, the Iranian public was horrified and amazed by the brutal murders of numerous prominent intellectuals, later to be described in the Iranian media as the “chain murders”, Iran Terror has learnt.
		In September I presented a report (Iran's VEVAK: Disinformation, Inc., GP, September 17, 2006; see also http://www.iranterror.com/content/view/229/46/) about Iran's Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS), or VEVAK as it is known in Farsi.
		VEVAK learned its methodology from the Soviet KGB and many of the Islamist revolutionaries who supported Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini actually studied at Moscow's Patrice Lumumba Friendship University, the Oxford of terrorism.

		The agency's first director was Major General Fardust, who was arrested in December 1985 for being a "Soviet informer." But after this major arrest the revolutionary government's keen desire to gain an upper hand over leftist guerrilla organizations may have influenced certain IRP leaders to relax their previously unrelenting pursuit of military intelligence personnel.
		VEVAK has frequently relied on the foreign branches of Iranian state-controlled banks to place intelligence agents and to finance terrorist operations.
		VEVAK has also conducted terrorist operations in support of Iranian objectives.

		Although it was impossible to verify, observers speculated that some of SAVAK's intelligence-gathering operations were turned over to VEVAK.

	Conseil national de la résistance iranienne
		Le VEVAK a donné pour instruction à ses agents en Europe de tenir plusieurs rassemblements à Paris et dans les environs de la résidence de Maryam Radjavi, la présidente de la République élue du Conseil national de la Résistance iranienne, à la fin du mois du mars.
		Hagghi qui vit en Hollande, travaille pour le VEVAK depuis 1995 et a été dénoncé par un agent de haut rang du VEVAK en Europe, Djamchid Tafrichi qui a fait défection en l’an 2000.
		Il n’est donc pas surprenant que les agents du VEVAK qui sont venus à Paris le 30 mars pour manifester sur le Trocadéro, et le surlendemain près de la résidence de Mme Radjavi, aient bénéficié de la pleine coopération des autorités françaises.

		In addition to (and working closely with) the Iranian Revolutionary Guards and VEVAK intelligence are members of numerous radical groups known for their anti-Western orientation, along with thousands of volunteer mujahedin ("holy warriors") from across the Islamic world.

		A major priority of the intelligence services of Venezuela and Iran (DISIP and VEVAK, respectively) is counter-intelligence against the United States.
		VEVAK, a sworn enemy of the Taliban and Al Qaeda, had successfully penetrated the Taliban's and Pakistan's security services and would have been well aware of the attack plans and any U.S. foreknowledge of them, including knowing about money movements from Pakistan to the hijackers in Florida.
		DISIP was well aware of the smuggling of cocaine from Colombia, trans-shipped on a Saudi diplomatic Boeing 737 through Venezuela, by Saudi Royal family members who then used the proceeds to support Al Qaeda's attack on America.

		En sentido general, los oficiales del VEVAK suscriben a un nacionalismo iraní cívico con un barniz en las creencias de Islam shiíta.

	The Iranian Intelligence Services and the War On Terror
		Yet even before the emergence of the Taliban, the VEVAK designated Salafi/Wahhabi terrorism as the primary threat to Iranian national security in 1994 and, contrary to unsubstantiated reports in Arab and western media, has never had any friendly contacts with al-Qaeda.
		The SAVAK was an "organization" largely outside the orbit of government control, whereas its post-revolutionary successor was positioned into the mainstream of the Iranian civil service in the form of a "ministry." Another feature of the compromise arrived at in 1984 was the powers granted to the IRGC to maintain its own separate intelligence directorate.
		The implications of this ideological gulf are far-reaching, insofar as there is likely to be non-interference by the VEVAK in the evolutionary political transformation that is eroding the grips of the ruling clergy on the levers of power.

		In addition, Ganji exposed Rafsanjani in a flurry of articles prior to the February 2000 parliamentary elections, in which the ex-president was participating with the undeclared aim of securing the speakership.
		Ganji claims that dozens of dissident activists and writers were murdered by rogue VEVAK elements during the period from 1990-1998.

		In a confidential 185-page investigative report submitted to the French Justice Ministry last spring, Karimi's account of early VEVAK contacts was cited by the French investigative magistrate, who declared the Iranian government had a direct role in the conspiracy to kill Bakhtiar.
		(He now heads VEVAK as Iran's minister of intelligence and security.) Karimi recalls it was an oddly cordial conversation during which Fallalian even apologized for "the necessity" to execute his father.
		The only way to get VEVAK off his back without killing Bakhtiar was to find a convincing way to end his relationship with his patron.
