“This is ground zero for intelligence work,” he said. “Our presence here is quiet, but substantial. We have increased our presence in the past year, and it gets us very close to Iran. This is a wonderfully porous country.”

The meeting between the agent and the London Times’ reporter took place in Baku, near the Israeli Embassy, the report said.
