NCRI – Egypt announced that the expelled Iranian regime’s diplomat was paying money to Egyptian political groups in order to engage them in activities favorable to Tehran rulers.
Al-Sharq al-Awsat reported on May 29 that questioning Qasem Hosseini started immediately after his arrest under supervision of Tahir al-Khawli, prosecutor of Egypt’s high court of security.
After he was arrested, it became apparent that Hosseini was an element of the Iranian regime’s Ministry of Intelligence whose activities violated the diplomatic protocol of Iranian regime’s Interest Section, Al-Sharq al-Awsat reported.
According to this report, Hosseini had established several intelligence networks and in return for paying members of these networks, they provided him with political, economic, and military information about Egypt and other Persian Gulf countries.
According to the Al-Sharq al-Awsat’s report, the Iranian regime’s diplomat took advantage of the security vacuum during the Egyptian people’s uprising and increased his security activities by contacting and giving money to Egyptian groups.
In an interview with al-Arabia, Nabil Abdul-Fattah, an expert at the Al-Ahram Center for Political and Strategic Studies in Cairo said that expelling the Iranian regime’s diplomat sends a message to the Arab states of Persian Gulf that the new Egypt will not damage its relations with other Arab states.
According to this expert, expelling the Iranian regime’s diplomat from Egypt also sends a message to Tehran’s regime that its special activities in Egypt cannot continue because such activities hurts Egypt’s national security in this time of transition.
