Hello and welcome to another episode of the Speak the Truth podcast. I'm your host Matt Tardio. Today's episode is being sponsored by prize picks. I ran in Israel have been at each other's throats for decades now, but it wasn't always this way. As a matter of fact, after Israel was formed in the late 1940s, Iran actually did recognize their sovereignty. In 1979, things started to go downhill.

actually has been accused of doing very similar things? In 2007 and 2008,

the Central Intelligence Agency here in the United States of America was actually looking into

whether or not Masad Intelligence Agents were over in London pretending to be a U.S. Central

Intelligence Agency officers. We know this from a series of memos that came in

of the last two years of the Bush administration that got put into the

American Intelligence Archives in Washington, D.C. Now I know that sounds crazy, but in an article published by Foreign Policy magazine
