LONDON (August 9) - Israel has privately admitted to Iran that the 10 Jews convicted of espionage by a court in Shiraz last month were spying for Israel, diplomatic sources told the London-based monthly newsletter Ad-Diplomasi. The admission was reportedly made during secret meetings between Israeli and Iranian officials at a Cairo hotel on July 31 and August 1, in the presence of US Ambassador to Egypt Daniel Kurtzer and Israeli Ambassador to Egypt Zvi Mazel. A Foreign Ministry spokesman said last night that the report was "nonsense." The Iranian Revolutionary Court in Shiraz last month sentenced 10 of the 13 Jews initially charged to between four and 13 years in jail. The remaining three were acquitted. The Iranians reportedly accepted Israel's apology for the affair and promised to commute the sentences after Israel admitted other failed operations by the Mossad, such as the bungled wire-tap attempt in the Swiss capital of Berne in February 1998. According to the diplomatic sources, contacts between Israel and Iran were initiated through third parties, but assumed a more direct nature after the 13 Iranian Jews were accused of spying for Israel. The sources said contacts between Israel and Iran were also held in the weeks preceding Israel's May 24 withdrawal from South Lebanon. As a result of the contacts, the two sides reached an undeclared understanding designed to "facilitate" the IDF pullback and to refrain from taking any steps that might jeopardize security on Israel's northern border. The sources say the Iranians promised that neither they nor Hizbullah would do anything to obstruct the IDF withdrawal, nor would they jeopardize the peace after Israel's withdrawal.
