Iran has been actively recruiting Israelis to spy for them, and at least ten Israelis have passed the first stage of recruitment and are receiving money from Iran. All ten were recruited when visiting relatives in Iran.

The recruitment process begins at the Iranian Consulate in turkey, where Israelis who wish to visit Iran go to obtain entry permits. They are grilled for information there, and if they seem like a potential candidate, can be recruited for seemingly innocuous tasks upont their return to Israel.

None of the ten were indicted, and they had not yet passed any information to Iran.
