Last Updated: Wednesday, July 21, 2010 | 10:16 AM ET /The Associated Press: An Iranian nuclear scientist spy who returned home last week from the United States provided valuable information about the CIA, a semi-official news agency reported Wednesday.
Shahram Amiri's tale will be made into a TV movie, the agency reported.
American authorities have claimed Amiri willingly defected to the U.S. but changed his mind and decided to return home without the $5 million US he had been paid for what a U.S. official described as "significant" information about his country's disputed nuclear program.
The Fars news agency quoted an unidentified source as saying that Iran's intelligence agents were in touch with Amiri while he was in the U.S. and that they won an intelligence battle against the CIA.
Iran has portrayed the return of Amiri as a blow to American intelligence services that it says were desperate for inside information about Iran's nuclear program.
Iran has sought to make maximum propaganda gains from the affair, allowing journalists to cover Amiri's return, sending a senior Foreign Ministry official to greet him and preparing to make a movie about his story.
