Intelligence/
Saga on circumvention of sanctions
Iran's efforts to use official and
unofficial channels in South Africa to beat western-imposed sanctions have
raised concerns within South African security services, according to leaked
intelligence documents obtained by Al Jazeera.
The
Spy Cables provide a detailed account of Tehran allegedly using secret front
companies, as well as open diplomatic channels, in its efforts to work around
trade restrictions in order to obtain materials for both arms manufacture and
other industries.
A
128-page "Operational Target Analysis," written by South African
spies, profiles dozens of alleged Iranian operatives, listing their names,
cover stories, families, addresses and phone numbers.
