Turkey revealed Israeli spy ring to Iran-report

JERUSALEM, Oct 17 (Reuters) - Turkey deliberately blew the cover of an Israeli spy ring working inside Iran in early 2012 and dealt a significant blow to Israeli intelligence gathering, according to a report in the Washington Post on Thursday.

There was no immediate comment from Israel or Turkey, but Israeli ministers have accused Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan of adopting an anti-Israeli stance in recent years to bolster his country's standing in the Muslim world.

Once-strong relations between Turkey and Israel hit the rocks in 2010 after Israeli commandos killed nine Turkish activists who were seeking to break Israel's long-standing naval blockade of the Gaza Strip.

...

However, it said that in early 2012 Erdogan disclosed to Tehran the identities of 10 Iranians who had travelled to Turkey to meet Israeli spies.

In April 2012, Iran announced that it had broken up a large Israeli spy network and arrested 15 suspects. It was not clear if this was connected to the alleged Turkish leak.

Turkey has been nazist for many years. Now they’re fullblown flyblown islamonazist.

Just a few nukes over those pukes would cllear up much of the world.

Does anyone really believe that Israel would divulge to Turkey the nature of its real clandestine activities against Iran? When Netanyahu acts definitively, the long quiet work of Mossad will become apparent. There will be explosions and mayhem with nary an Israeli plane anywhere near.

“Does anyone really believe that Israel would divulge to Turkey the nature of its real clandestine activities against Iran? “

I don’t believe that’s what’s being alleged.
I think the Turks were monitoring the Israelis and saw the Iranians meeting with them, and outed the Iranians to the Iranian regime. They are most likely all long dead now.

Thanks Pan_Yan.
Turkey deliberately blew the cover of an Israeli spy ring working inside Iran in early 2012 and dealt a significant blow to Israeli intelligence gathering... Erdogan disclosed to Tehran the identities of 10 Iranians who had travelled to Turkey to meet Israeli spies.
