Gholamhosein Mohseni Ejehi, judiciary spokesman of Iran, referred to Amiri as an accomplice to the country’s “number one enemy”, this being the “satanic” United States of America. In the third video, broadcast again by Iranian state TV, Amiri claimed to be on the run from the Central Intelligence Agency.
The AFP quoted the NCRI as saying in a statement that Amiri had returned to Iran due to pressure on his family.
The spokesman dismissed a “rumour” by Amiri’s family that he had received a 10-year prison term.
Iranian scientist Shahram Amiri holds his son Amir Hossein as he arrives at the Imam Khomini airport in Tehran July 15, 2010. The nuclear scientist’s mother said that her son’s body has rope marks around the neck, indicating that he was executed by hanging. Contradictory reports in foreign media emerged around that time, saying he had defected to the U.S.in an operation planned by the Central Intelligence Agency. -Israeli creation, had begun disrupting thousands of centrifuges at a uranium enrichment facility in Iran.
Shahram Amiri recived a hero’s welcome upon return to Iran in 2010 from the US. “I have not done any activity against my homeland”, he said in that video. Then he mysteriously disappeared. In a later post, he said he wanted to go home.
In interviews, Mr. Amiri described being kidnapped in Medina and held against his will by Saudi and American spies, while USA officials told AP he was to receive about $5 million for his help in understanding Iran’s contested nuclear programme.
As reported by CNBC, his disappearance came as a shock to all those who viewed Shahram Amiri as a hero, especially after government leaders welcomed him back to the country six years ago, with both open arms and a floral gesture. Amiri is believed to have given some information on some of Iran’s nuclear program to the United States.
FBI Director James Comey said last month that the FBI had found evidence that “the security culture of the State Department in general, and with respect to use of unclassified systems in particular, was generally lacking in the kind of care for classified information that’s found elsewhere in the U.S. government”.
“I was under the harshest mental and physical torture”, he said.
Iran struck a a deal in July past year with the USA and five other world powers that restricts the scope of Iran’s nuclear program and led to the lifting of some economic sanctions in January. Her Republican opponent, Donald Trump, has recently released an ad poking Clinton for several of her recent “malfunctions” when speaking – playing off the idea that she is “short-circuiting” enough to make her a unsafe liability for the country.
Amiri was given a hero’s welcome when he arrived at Imam Khomeini airport in Tehran in 2010, portrayed as somone who had fled United States captivity.
