The Ministry of Intelligence and Security (MOIS) is ranked by experts as one of the largest and most active intelligence agencies in the Middle East. And yet it has been shrouded in so much mystery that apart from the occasional revelations by the Iranian Resistance, little has ever been made public about its operations and functions. The MOIS is no ordinary intelligence agency. It has been behind most of the 450 acts of terrorism the Iranian regime has sponsored around the world since the 1980s. It has a vast network of companies and offices around the world that act as fronts for its illegal operations. It conducts its espionage activities and surveillance operations against Iranian dissidents on every continent. It is involved in the illegal procurement of arms and weapons of mass destruction technology and materials.

In an interview with France's FR3 television he introduced himself as "former head of personal protection of Maryam Rajavi and is now a political refugee in the Netherlands" and claimed that "he was a member of the People's Mojahedin for 15 years" and as "the group diverted to sectarianism," he decided to leave the organization. This is while he had never been "the head of personal protection of Mrs. Rajavi" ever and the falsity of this claim and that "he has been a member of the Mojahedin for 15 years" can be proven in any impartial trial or investigation with ample undeniable documents and evidence. On the contrary to what he has claimed, he has never had a responsible role in the resistance movement.

London, May 22 - An internal memorandum of Iran’s Ministry of Intelligence and Security, known as MOIS or VEVAK, obtained by the Iranian opposition’s sources in Iran and published in August 2002, identifies Mohammad Hossein Sobhani as a team leader and a veteran agent of VEVAK. Research into Sobhani’s long years of service for the Iranian secret police and interviews with former VEVAK agents and active Iranian dissidents familiar with his case chart a tortuous path that throws light on the methods and tactics of an intelligence service that has become one of the world’s largest, and most feared, secret organizations.
