Fox-
President Trump on Monday dismissed as “more lies and propaganda” claims out of Iran alleging authorities there had disrupted a CIA spy ring and sentenced several of the plotters to death — a development that threatened to further inflame an already precarious staredown between the Islamic Republic and the United States.
Trump’s tweet, which also mentioned an Iranian drone shot down by the U.S. Navy last week after the unmanned vehicle wandered too close to the USS Boxer, echoed comments made earlier in the morning by Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and cast Tehran as flailing amid tough U.S. sanctions that threatened to strangle its economy.
“The Report of Iran capturing CIA spies is totally false. Zero truth,” Trump wrote. “Just more lies and propaganda (like their shot down drone) put out by a Religious Regime that is Badly Failing and has no idea what to do. Their Economy is dead, and will get much worse. Iran is a total mess!”
The roundup of the alleged espionage cell ensnared 17 people during the past several months and was completed by the end of March, an Iranian official said at a news conference in Tehran. The official was identified only as the director of the counterespionage department of Iran’s Intelligence Ministry, which is highly unusual in Iran, as officials usually identify themselves at press conferences.
“The identified spies were employed in sensitive and vital private sector centers in the economic, nuclear, infrastructural, military and cyber areas…where they collected classified information,” said a ministry statement read on state television.
Pompeo, while not commenting directly on the spy report, advised caution and noted Iran has a history of lying.
“I can’t add much to it specifically,” Pompeo told “Fox & Friends” on Monday morning. “I would urge everyone who’s reading that story that the Iranian regime has a long history of lying. They lied about where they shot down the American UAV, they now lied about where they took down this tanker. It’s part of the nature of the Ayatollah to lie to the world. I would take with a significant grain of salt any Iranian assertion of Iranian actions taken. “
Pictures of some of the alleged spies were reportedly shown on state TV, which also broadcast a documentary purporting to show a CIA officer recruiting an Iranian in the United Arab Emirates.
It’s astounding that the ONLY politician in America we trust is Donald Trump.
All democrats lie. (That’s just the party line.)
And EVERY republican is suspect. Example:
Republican group apologized after sharing a meme calling four Democratic congresswomen the “The Jihad Squad:

The press implies that it is our President and military who are lying about this and the tanker and drone incidents. It’s just the way they phrase things and their tone. Fair and balanced my ass.
F! the CIA, they’re all democrats anyway.
If they actually did capture some agents they had better hope that the Iranians take them out and shoot lest they suffer the fate of William Buckley the CIA station Chief in Beirut who was kidnapped by Hezbollah agents under the orders from Iranian Intelligence in 1985.
They caught him so quickly he didn’t have time to detonate his burn bag so they got all the top secret documents it contained to. Under the most savage tortures including psychotropic drugs all scripted and directed by an Iranian Doctor/Psychiatrist he was broken within a week and gave up everything he knew. That was just the start. The bastards kept him alive in the most horrible conditions (including daily beatings and torture sessions) for a year before he finally died, a gibbering, mewling shell of a man. During that time they sent video tapes to the CIA showing him begging for his life. They teased him and the CIA by pretending to agree to a prisoner exchange with Israel (which offered the agency any of the prisoners they had to free Buckley) then rescinding the offer only to do it again later.
The Iranian Psychiatrist who orchestrated the torture and finally the death of Buckley continued to teach at a university in Tehran. I don’t know if that evil fuck is still alive.
Do some research on it and you’ll realize what the world is dealing with when they engage with either Iran or Hezbollah.
We have three enemies: russia, china and the swamp/left/islamic axis.
The most threatening is the swamp/left/islamic axis, because they’re in Congress, and they’re on the side of communist China.
The “press” (the democrat media, mostly – but there is paul ryan on the board of Fox News) is part of the swamp/left/islamic axis.
The most threatening enemy Americans have is our own government criminals running this country, ALL of them!! Any CIA spies caught in any other country deserve to get punished. The CIA is even subversive in the USA.
The CIA Spies Behind Disney World’s Secretive, Fake Cities
BY M.ADMIN | JUL 8, 2015
“Paul Helliwell and “Wild Bill” Donovan were two of the most notorious spies in American history, adept at setting up front companies and running disinformation campaigns. Which is exactly why Walt Disney hired them to help him build Florida’s Disney World. In a classic piece of corporate subterfuge, Helliwell and Donovan helped Disney build two fake cities that would grant him total control of the local government.”
