Tehran: Iran has detained 17 people on charges of spying for the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) of the USA and sentenced some of them to death, said the Intelligence Ministry on Monday.
The Ministry’s Director-General for counter-intelligence said the 17 “professional spies” were working on behalf of the CIA throughout the last year, Fars news agency reported.
The official claimed the CIA had recruited them by mainly contacting them over the Internet.
The development comes amid standoff between Tehran and Washington, following US President Donald Trump’s decision to scrap the 2015 nuclear deal and reimposition of sanctions on Iran. (IANS)
