Iran has reportedly arrested 17 US spies and sentenced them to death

Iran's intelligence service announced that it had arrested 17 Iranian citizens who were working as spies for the CIA and that some of them had been sentenced to death.

In the face of escalating tensions, the Islamic people do not fear the West. After the interception of a British tanker in the Strait of Hormuz, the Iranian authorities revealed the arrest of 17 US spies. As detailed Iranians, these people would have been part of a network of cyber espionage in the United States, which was dismantled some time ago. At a press conference, representatives of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Espionage said that those who "collaborated consciously and deliberately (with the CIA)", who sought to obtain military and intelligence information. Tehran, had been handed over to the judiciary and sentenced to death or "long" prison sentences.

They also said that those sentenced to death, among those who did not offer an exact figure, were found guilty of "corruption on the land", an accusation that Islamic jurisprudence usually punishes by hanging. Some detainees "interacted honestly with the Iranian intelligence services and their repentance has been proven."

According to the information provided, the 17 detainees were not in contact, but they all communicated with a CIA agent. They have all collected "clbadified information" and "have been trained in setting up secure communications".
