Iran Press/ Iran News: In April 2016, at Imam Khomeini International Airport, Iran’s intelligence authorities arrested Nazanin Zaghari- Ratcliffe, who was leaving Tehran for London.
The next day, the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC) in Kerman, in a statement, announced that after a few months of observation, the IRGC security forces had arrested an English spy (Zaghari) on her way to London.
The statement said that Zaghari had been transferred to Kerman, and the reasons for her arrest are her membership in foreign foundations and participation in designing and implementing media and cybercrime projects to orchestrate a soft overthrow of the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Nazanin Zaghari- Ratcliffe, the UK-affiliated spy, was the last bead of the 50-person group arrested in the infiltration case.
After Zaghari’s arrest, the spy network was totally dismantled. Orange network, Iran project 1 and 2, TRF, and TWC were part of the MI6 macro project, which the IRGC identified and restrained.
Nazanin Zaghari was born in 1978 in Tehran; she studied the English language at the University of Tehran, and after several years of cooperation in some English language educational institutions, she started working with the International Service of the Hamshahri newspaper. She became Fariba Sahraei’s colleague, correspondent of the Persian BBC.
After the Hamshahri newspaper, Zaghari went to the Shargh newspaper.
In 2003, Zaghari went to Kerman on the pretext of contributing to the earthquake victims in Bam and stayed there for six months. The story when it comes to knowing that Nazanin Zaghi has been connected to the International Red Cross Federation in Bam.
In Bam, Zaghari connects to the International Federation of the Red Cross.
Later, it was revealed that the organization’s purpose was not helping earthquake victims but to examine groundwater conditions in Kerman Province. For three years, Zaghari focused on this project under the disguise of human rights, and after collecting the necessary information, she left Iran for England under the pretext of studying. She easily entered London Metropolitan University.
She receives an important invitation in the last semester. She was asked to participate in the SOAS University conference! This university is one of the most important centers in Middle Eastern studies in Europe. After participating in several meetings of the Middle East Resources examination, she acquainted with one of the university researchers, Richard Ratcliffe.
Marrying Richard Ratcliffe is the beginning of new adventures in London for Zaghari; Nazanin joined the Thomson Reuters Foundation with the help of her husband in 2011. This is a big jump to convert a simple English interface to a professional spy.
Zaghari was selected as the director of a critical underground resource project as soon as she joined the Thomson Reuters Foundation without a resume. This explains why the Red Cross in Kerman invested in Zaghari and commissioned her to study groundwater in the Iranian desert for six months.
In addition to collaborating on the Iran project, Zaghari had been the director of Thomson’s research department in Lebanon. After Lebanon, she also worked in the Maghreb, Latin America, and countries that led to color revolutions and soft overthrow.
After returning to London, Zaghari was promoted, and this time the British Foreign Office invited her to work at the Zigzag Academy for the BBC Persian service; she was put in charge of the Iran Project as soon as she entered the British state television network. One of the project’s most important goals is to train professional journalists and turn amateur citizens into citizen journalists in Iran.
Zaghari joined the training station foundation in 2010 under the guidance of his husband. In its charter, the foundation formally operates in the field of anti-security projects against the Islamic Republic of Iran and receives its funding from organizations under the auspices of the US and British Ministries of Defense; the foundation’s purpose is to establish a network of intelligence gathering and espionage, infiltration and soft subversion in the target countries.
Zaghari observed security aspects throughout her time at the training station and asked her interns not to contact her in any way through official emails.
The professional spy, who was under surveillance by the security forces of the Islamic Republic before leaving Iran for the first time, was finally arrested on April 3, 2016.
For a long time after Zaghari was arrested, the British tried to depict Zaghari as an innocent dual citizen, but when her court order was announced, and it became clear that even Boris Johnson could not release her through mediation, the British Secretary of Defense for the first time announced readiness to exchange his employee in Iran.
