Mehdi Mojahed's Account of IRGC Insistence in Iran-U.S. Spy Swap With Obama Administration/ Hossamodin Ashna: The Account Is Off by About 105 Degrees from True North

Mehdi Mojahed, deputy to the 13th government's president, recounted in an interview on IRIB his experience negotiating an exchange of what he called an Iranian-American spy. The account drew a response from Hossamodin Ashna, adviser to the 11th and 12th governments' presidents.

Mehdi Mujahid, the deputy head of the 13th government, told a story on the radio about the experience of negotiating for the exchange of alleged Iranian-American spies.

According to Ambassador Arjan Mehdi Mujahid, Deputy Director of Coordination, Special Pursuits and Management Services of the Office of the 13th President, said in a radio interview: "The experience of successful negotiations happened in the year 2014 when Obama was the President of the United States and the JCPOA negotiations were underway.

He continued: At that time, some inside said to let this person go because America would be upset about this, but the IRGC stood firm and said that we caught a spy. After that, the verdict was issued in the judiciary, then the Americans requested an exchange, and the IRGC stood firm because some people said that this spy should go and catch one or two innocent Iranians in America, and the IRGC stood firm and said that for an exchange, we should make a list so that about 20 Iranians should be released, and about 10 people should be removed under the pretext of circumventing the sanctions, America agreed.

Mujahid continued to emphasize: "A new proposal from the United States has just come here. Sespah said that in addition to the exchange of one and seven tenths of a billion, our detained people should be released. The same people who said to release this person said what are these words?! Do the Americans pay for the release of their spy? The Corps stood up and said that these conditions must be met.

He continued: The Americans said to give 400 million dollars. The matter went to Mr. Sir, they said one cent less - than 1.7 billion dollars - no! The Americans agreed with him. About 31 Iranians who were detained under various pretexts were released, in addition, they handed over 1.7 billion dollars in Euros, the Central Bank arrived there, and then made sure that the money was received and said that the spy should be handed over. Therefore, this method of successful negotiation is unprecedented and it is important to believe in this.

Hossamuddin Ashna, the adviser to the head of the 11th and 12th governments, who was present in the government at the time of the story narrated by Mehdi Mujahid, reposted these words on his user account on X and wrote: This story is only about "105 degrees of deviation from the north".
