bob bair is a former cia officer who served in beirut, involved in operations targeting hezbollah.ound the claims credible. >> i assume it's correct. i think i understand how hezbollah compromised cia. they used telephone link analysis. so once you tie one phone in to another phone, you can pretty well identify a station. >> in the video, hezbollah even produces animations, recreating meetings it claims occurred at places like mcdonald's and pizza hut between cia agents and their recruits. baer says they have eyes all over beirut. the defense ministry and to parliament where the group holds seats. these new claims come after hezbollah partially unravelled the cia's operations in lebanon, capturing some informants. hezbollah has been a bitter enemy of the cia's since the 1980s blamed for bombing the u.s. embassy and the kidnap and murder of cia officer william buckley. a former cia officer who tracked iran's operations in europe and the middle east. >> who do you think has the upper hand right now in the covert operations side between the u.s. and iran? >> well, i mean, i think iran
