U.S. Ambassador to Israel Suspended on Charges of Spying for Zionists

TEHRAN It has been quite clear that the U.S.
administration is the main patron of the Zionist regime, providing it with all sorts of support and assistance. But it has been revealed now that the secret information about different countries collected by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) is also systematically passed on to the Zionists.
An AFP report from Bait-ul-Moqaddas yesterday quoted the officials of the U.S. Embassy in Tel Aviv as saying that the U.S. Ambassador to Israel, Martin Indyk, will not return to Tel Aviv until the end of an inquiry into suspected security violations.
"The ambassador will remain in Washington pending the resolution of the security investigation," said Embassy spokesman Larry Schwartz, adding that the State Department was promising to resolve the issue in a short time.
Saturday's Washington Post reported that the State Department suspended Indyk's security clearance pending an investigation into suspected security violations.
By security violations' it is meant that Indyk, of Jewish religion, has been passing secret information to the Zionists, an expert commented.
He noted that the CIA has obtained classified information about almost all countries in the world, and this information has been passed on to the Zionist regime.
Washington Post said the suspension prevents Indyk, 49, from handling classified materials and requires him to be escorted into the State Department building in Washington.
The breach reportedly entailed "the sloppy handling of classified information" over a longer period of time.
Indyk, who returned to the United States earlier this month, issued a two-paragraph statement through his lawyer, promising to cooperate with the probe.
Indyk was the architect of the dual containment policy of thew U.S. to contain Iran and Iraq which failed.
