That "missing" Iranian General has turned up

I find it interesting that the US official who leaked/told this story explicitly didn't say they were getting information regarding Iran supplying weapons to Iraq, only Hezbullah.
A former Iranian deputy defense minister who once commanded the Revolutionary Guard has left his country and is cooperating with Western intelligence agencies, providing information on Hezbollah and Iran's ties to the organization, according to a senior U.S. official.

I mean, you know the reporter asked that question, right?

Later: On the other hand, a different "senior US official," "told ABC News today the United States doesn't know where he is."

So, is the first one a lie aimed at the Iranians, or is the second one a cover for the leak, or does official B not know the truth?

  • Or is he sitting in a secret prison in Europe?

  • Maybe. We don't know at this point.

    If he was bought and came willingly, he might be in a secluded villa somewhere.

    For him to be rendered would likely require the cooperation of the Turks, and I don't know if that happens.

    There's just no telling.
