Mendez slipped into revolutionary Iran in 1980 and brought out six American diplomats who were granted refuge by the Canadian Embassy. He didn't receive full acclaim until Hollywood made a 2012 movie.

Marizeh Hashemi, a TV anchor in Iran, was arrested Sunday in the U.S. and is testifying before a grand jury in Washington. This is the first time U.S. authorities have commented on her case.

ISIS has lost almost all its territory, but it claimed a suicide bombing that killed four Americans. The extremist group is still believed to have thousands of fighters who have gone underground.

While in Cairo on Thursday, Mike Pompeo gave a speech blaming many of the region's problems — in particular the rise of ISIS — on a lack of leadership from former President Obama.

Paul Whelan remains in Moscow's Lefortovo Prison, accused by the Russian government of espionage. But a former CIA officer says the case sounds like a set up.

CIA Director Gina Haspel wants more undercover officers overseas. But in an age of universal surveillance, instant online searches and social media profiles, staying below the radar is a challenge.
