Iran sentences Iranian-British to 10 years for spying for ‘Israel’s Mossad’

Iran’s judiciary has sentenced British-Iranian dual
national Anousheh Ashouri to 10 years jail on spying charges, Iranian state TV
reported on Tuesday.
“British-Iranian Anousheh Ashouri has been sentenced
to 10 years jail for spying for Israel’s Mossad ... also two years for
acquiring illegitimate wealth,” judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili was
quoted as saying. He did not give any more details.
Iran said in July that it had captured 17 spies
working for the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and some had been
sentenced to death. It was unclear whether Tuesday’s announcement was linked to
the same case.
