Went Out and never returned back

Since last week I followed the news regarding the missing Iranian general Ali Reza Asgari despite my concern day and night with the Egyptian POWs files. It was very interesting to me , because I think it is the first in the history of the revolutionary Islamic Iran that some member from the regime itself to disappear like that , before of course the new information regarding him.

General Ali Reza Asgari , is a 63 years old general from the Iran's elite Revolutionary Guards and former Deputy Defense Minister in the former President Khatami , he is known to be a rich man , already a man in his position should be especially he is working in one of Iran's important security forces like the Revolutionary Guards , whom I think they are equivalent to the State Security in Egypt as I understand , a group from the police and the army got nothing except to protect the regime in all the possible ways , ways that are far away from Islam.

Anyhow It started when Asgari vanished from the 7th of February after arriving to Istanbul on flight from Syria .He had reservations at the Ceylan Intercontinental Hotel but never checked in and that made the authorities in Iran seriously very worried , the first thought was that he was kidnapped by some western intelligence either the C.I.A or the Mossad ,the Iranian foreign ministry sent a group to investigate the sudden disappearance

 then after a week or something ,we began to read reports and hear news that the revolutionary guard rebelled on his home and is cooperating with western intelligence , of course mainly the C.I.A, it was very shocking especially to the Iranians , according to the media sources the American ones like Washington POST saying that he gave information mainly about Hezbollah and its ties to Iran , very critical information about the Lebanese resistance ,as already it turned out that he worked for some time in Lebanon since the late 80s as the commander of the Revolutionary guards there according to the Israeli sources  and after that he returned to Iran as a high-ranking official dealing with the arms trade and weapons industry, including the development of the Shaab-3 ballistic missile. He stepped down as Deputy Defense Minister in 2005.

Yet the new surprise we found now according to the Times that the general was working for the western intelligence since 2003 , in other more better description he was spying on his country since 2003 to be the first senior official since the revolution from 27 years to do so !!

His escape with his family was arranged for months according , already he got two son,daughter and several grandsons who fled the country ,some said that they went to Syria and from it their destination is unknown , already the man is said to be undergoing a debriefing in some base in Germany , of course I won't think a lot to know that it is an American base ,already the words used in the western reports are very silly "Western Intelligence" come on we all know it is the United States' "C.I.A" , the unique thing is the Israelis are saying that the general was working as their spy for the Mossad describing the operation as very successful , I won't speculate much and say that the Israelis are trying to save their intelligence dignity after the July war and El-Attar scandals, You see in all the western news reports the man is said to be spying on the Hezbollah-relations and the Lebanese resistance secrets , yet despite all these years they didn't win at all in the July war , the ex-commander of the revolutionary guards in Lebanon didn't know one single location of one missile in Lebanon to be targeted in the war , he didn't know where Nasrallah was , I mean logically I don't see any kind of help he presented to the Israelis or the Americans in their war against Hezbollah !! Logically a man like what they are saying should give them critical information that can blow the Lebanese resistance !!

Of course I don't need to say that he escaped because there was fear from that his cover was to be blown already Israeli YNet News hinted to that point , they are saying that "Iran’s notorious secret service, the Vavak, is believed to have suspected that he was a high-level mole"!! Notorious , well I don't suspect that Vavak is not so , but also the Mossad is a bloody Notorious, already I can't find anything related to the Vavak online as Iranian secret service , you see I know that in the time of the shad there was the "Savak" !!

Updates : It turned out the Israeli newspaper editor misspelled the word "Vavak" , the correct word is "Vevak" and it is the ministry of intelligence

There are some points which made me think again about the western version about the man ,I mean according to the same Israeli News source they said that in 1997 he was appointed deputy defense minister in charge of internal investigations. He uncovered several cases of embezzlement in the Republican Guard that made him unpopular.This is an act of an honest man who doesn't care a lot for position or what the other thinks as long as he was doing the right thing for his country ,so how can betray his country like this ??

Another question mark ,why he did it , I mean the reason can't be only money , already ,they say that he is a wealthy man and after his recruitment in 2003 he even became more wealthier ,that more money condition should have made the intelligence service in Iran more attention to him this is number one.

Another thing in similar situations from the Soviet Union and cold war era , the reason , announced reason for leaving the country to work for the enemy which was the united States always the escape from the dictatorship ,seeking freedom , because here the only reason , the obvious one is for money , I mean this is the direst kind of spies ,for spying for his enemies , especially he was not in need of money !!

I don't know but if I were from the C.I.A I would use this escape and say that he escaped because he wanted freedom to the end of this new middle democracy fancy

May be there is something about him ,I don't know , or may be it is just me , the conspiracy theory Arabic mind

Oh I think I forgot to say that i hate traitors
