During a conference held at The Washington Institute for Near East Policy on Friday, Reza Kahlili (pseudonym) estimated that Iran will eventually attack Israel, Europe and the Persian Gulf states. He called for a preemptive strike on the regime in Tehran, but not on the Iranian people or the country’s infrastructure.

Kahlili accused the Obama Administration of being naïve. According to him, the American overtures are viewed by the Iranian regime as a sign of weakness, while the Iranian people consider the efforts to engage the regime an act of betrayal against their struggle for freedom.
“This is a messianic regime. There should be no doubt – they are going to commit the most horrendous suicide bombing in human history. They will attack Israel, European capitals, and (the) Persian Gulf region at the same time,” said Kahlili in one of his first public appearances to promote his new book “A Time To Betray: The Astonishing Double Life of a CIA Agent inside the Revolutionary Guards of Iran”.
Kahlili said he joined the Revolutionary Guard following the Islamic revolution of 1979, but volunteered to work for the CIA when he became disillusioned with the Khomeini regime after witnessing acts of rape, torture and murder.
Kahlili, arrived at the conference wearing a surgical mask, sunglasses and a baseball cap to conceal his identity. Out of concern for his safety, as well as that of his family inside Iran, his voice was also disguised.
For 10 years, under the code name “Wally,” he relayed the secret operations of the IRGC back to American intelligence, eventually fleeing to the United States. In the aftermath of 9/11, Kahlili reestablished contact with his sources in Iran and began once again providing information to the CIA, according to the Washington Institute.
and still obama and company will live in their own intellictual word of naivity and endanger us all
Iran is begging, just begging to be bombed. Why the hell is nobody doing anything??????
Hashem should have Rachmonis on us all. He is our only hope.
Every child (other than Obama of course) can tell you precisely that. We don’t need the CIA double agent to teach us ABC…
Does this spy care to share where is the rasah Haman Bin Laden ? Or i sthat bad for spy business?
I just don’t get it if he’s a active spy y come out in the public, maybe the Obama admin did it on purpose to shut him up and make sure he gets captured.
“said Kahlili in one of his first public appearances to promote his new book “A Time To Betray”
He came out because it’s all about the money. And what a great racket, can anybody prove or disprove his assertions? Kinda’ like Sara Palin, say anything you can to get people worked up and never have to prove anything.
And yes, I know that Iran is a genuine threat.
He’s probably a plant by the US to justify why the US and Israel need to bomb Iran. This is a case of wag the dog. Don’t fall for it.
It seems to me that Iran won’t attack Israel because Ahmadinanjad hides fakely behind his “concern” for the Palestinians plight…if he kills us, he kills them too. And his fake caring for them is the only thing that keeps him in talks with the rest of the world. The world that he seeks to dominate.
I thing the president from iran will not do it because he wont’s to go to sayin, & he love israel & he is only making the bomb to protect israel, & he is good with the world because the hams not because his cuntre he wants to have what to give them to eat. ?
i have heard the same story from an iranian who worked for the iranian army.
he said that achmanidejad belives himself to be their machdi (some kind of goyishe meshiach) and that this machdi will bring the end of days.
the only way is to attack iran!
