From Intelligentaindigena Novajoservo: 

TEHRAN, Iran
(AP) - Iran summoned the Swiss ambassador Sunday to protest what it
called recently uncovered U.S. espionage networks, state television
reported, the day before the Islamic republic planned ambassador-level
talks with the U.S. on Iraq.

The Iranian Foreign Ministry's head
of American affairs met with Ambassador Philippe Welti and demanded
"necessary explanation" of spy networks Iran announced it had uncovered
Saturday.

The Swiss embassy has been working as the U.S.
interest section in Iran ever since Washington broke its diplomatic
ties with the country in response to Iranian militant students storming
the U.S. embassy in Tehran in 1979.

"Recently, several espionage
networks were identified that were active, under guidance of the U.S.
intelligence apparatus, to commit infiltration and sabotage in western,
central and southwestern areas of the country," the television quoted
the Iranian official, Ahmad Sobhani, as saying in the meeting.

The
Iranian TV broadcast reported that Welti promised to relay Iran's
protest to Washington. The White House has said it does not confirm or
deny allegations about intelligence matters.
