Not that we or the journalist of this article quoting un-named sources have shown proof that any sort of account, fake or genuine, actually exists. All this valuable information that Amiri is said to have given the US about Iran's nuclear programme seems to have been a waste of $5,000,000. If there was the slightest bit of useful information the US (and Israel) would have been using that information as the urgent pretext to invade Iran before it is too late [or to secure their uncontrolled oil reserves which are rightfully the US's]. Even with the sanctions on US/Iran financial transactions there is nothing to stop Amiri from transferring the money to a third party bank which does do business with Iran and then transferring it to Iran. But obviously there is no banks account or money. Do they really think we are so stooopid? If I were Amiri I would call the US on it.
Agreed.
But this is a very curious tale.
None of it makes any sense.
If Amiri was a real defector who knew genuine secrets, his family would be dead and Amiri himself would be in witness protection.
If Amiri was a false defector designed to provide a propaganda justification for war on Iran (a Chalabi type operation), his phony "nuggets" would have been spoonfed to a trusted lackey MSM conduit like Judith Miller. There's no sign of this. Amiri certainly would not have been allowed to return to Iran.
If Amiri was a false defector sent by the Iranians, he would have been rendered to a deep black hell hole after several hundred waterboardings and worse.
This official narrative of Amiri almost strolling back into Iran and having his, quite possibly fictional, bank accounts frozen as retaliation is pure rubbish.
It's either a totally busted operation.
Or the tiny floating turd of some incredibly deep political bowel movement.
