According to media report published on Sunday, the American city Los Angeles has become a key location for U.S. spy agencies' operation on Iran, intensifying their activities to gather as much information as possible about the country's nuclear activities.

A CIA station in Los Angeles, the second biggest U.S. city, has been recruiting agents among Iranian expatriates and businessmen who travel to Iran for decades, while the local FBI field office is trying to use Iranians as sources -- and investigating others as potential ‘terrorists’ or spies.

Washington has intensified its spy operations on Iran, as Bush administration tries to gather intelligence about Iran's nuclear programme, the Los Angeles Times reported on Sunday.
