Do the kids deliver mail, work for the IRS, CIA..... Working for the US government covers a lot of area and most wouldnt have much useful information to pass along. As far the Iranian government worker, I figure it is something mundane as well, if at all. I dont believe spies tell their neighbors "Hey Bob, did you know I am a spy for Iran. Hey, my boys just got government jobs and are feeding me a shit ton of top secret info".
Here is what our government has overseas.
"There are 88,700 federal employees stationed overseas in over 140 countries. The Defense Department is the largest overseas employer with 48,151 workers. The State Department is the #2 overseas employer with 20,712 employees stationed abroad."
