CIA Paid Iran Nuke Scientist $5 Million

"Anything he got is now beyond his reach, thanks to the financial sanctions on Iran," a U.S. official told the Post. "He's gone, but his money's not. We have his information, and the Iranians have him."

The Iranian nuclear scientist who claims to have been abducted by the CIA was paid more than $5 million to provide intelligence on Iran's nuclear program, according to a published report.

The scientist, Shahram Amiri, returned to Iran early Thursday where he was given a hero's welcome after claiming he was abducted by U.S. agents and then offered $50 million to stay in the U.S.

The Washington Post reported in its online edition late Wednesday that Amiri worked for the CIA for more than a year before abruptly asking to return home this week. The Post said he was paid $5 million out of a secret program aimed at inducing scientists and others with information on Iran's nuclear program to defect.

The U.S. says he was a willing defector who changed his mind and decided to board a plane home from Washington.

Amiri is not obligated to return the money, the newspaper reported, however he may be unable to access the funds after breaking off "significant cooperation" with the U.S.

"Anything he got is now beyond his reach, thanks to the financial sanctions on Iran," a U.S. official told the Post. "He's gone, but his money's not. We have his information, and the Iranians have him."

The payment of millions of dollars to Amiri appears to bolster the U.S. government's assertion that he was neither abducted nor brought to the country against his will, the Post said. The size of the payment could be a gauge of how valuable the information gleaned from him was to the CIA.
