Interview: Former CIA Agent In Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Says ‘Regime Is After Nuclear Arms’

Khalili says that while he wasn’t a member of Revolutionary Guards military forces, he did have access to important information.
.
Reza Kahlili (a pseudonym) claims to be a former member of Iran’s powerful Revolutionary Guard who spied for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) in Iran for more than a decade following the 1979 Islamic Revolution.
.

He tells his story in a new book, “A Time to Betray: The Astonishing Double Life of a CIA Agent Inside the Revolutionary Guards of Iran,” which hits bookstores on April 6. In his book, Kahlili talks about his double life as a CIA agent inside the Revolutionary Guard and discloses what he describes as “revelatory information” about Iran.

Among other bombshells, he says former Iranian President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani ordered the bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie in 1988. He also claims to know the location of a secret Iranian nuclear site.

Kahlili, who now lives in California, spoke to RFE/RL correspondent Golnaz Esfandiari.

RFE/RL: When did you start working for the CIA and how many years were you there?

Reza Kahlili: The time period I give is the time period mentioned in the book, and it’s important to know that all the times, locations, and names have been changed so that the Islamic regime of Iran will not be able to identify me. My work with the CIA began about 2 1/2 years after the Islamic Revolution.
