Procedure of Finding and Recruiting Agents
The Clerical Regime’s terror machines like the Qods Force or the
Intelligence Ministry have very difficult conditions for recruiting new
agents. The agents are first selected by the Islamic Culture and
Communications Organization or the Cultural Advisor. Then through a
number of tours which is organized by the Regime’s intelligence
officers, the more suitable agents are introduced to the Regime’s
intelligence officers (from the Intelligence Ministry or the Qods
Force) in the desired country. The Regime’s intelligence officer
carries out investigation on the new agents file and then sends it to
Tehran. The file in Tehran is sent to the ID Determination Section in
the Intelligence Ministry. Once the section passes its remarks on the
file, the agents are accepted by the Intelligence Ministry or the Qods
Force for training.
