The Iran House: Tales of Revolution, Persecution, War, and Intrigue

An investigative reporter reveals his deepest secrets about Iran, Israel, and US intelligence operations—on the ground, and often in harm’s way.

Commenting on my 2022 memoir, And the Rest Is History, Dennis Prager said he wondered, “How many Kenneth Timmermans are there?” I seemed to have led multiple lives, as a war correspondent, investigative reporter, human rights advocate, and pro-freedom activist. I had been nominated for Congress, taken hostage by terrorists, and shared a journalism prize with Tucker Carlson. I had even been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize!

And while all of that is true, there is another, far more secretive side to my activities in the past thirty years.

It invariably began with a knock at the door, the showing of creds…and an earnest request. Was I willing to help my government in its war against international terrorism? What kind of question was that? Of course I was.

I talked to people the US government couldn’t talk to, and they wanted that access. So, for many years—and for multiple agencies—I became an agent-runner.

Some of my guys helped save American lives. Their access to the inner reaches of the Islamist regime in Tehran exposed a dark story of treacherous collaboration with senior Democrat Party operatives that will stun readers and rock the 2024 presidential election.
