An individual accused of spying for the CIA in Iran has been sentenced to death, Iran's judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Ismaili said.
He added that the Supreme Court has upheld the capital punishment for the U.S. intelligence officer for gathering classified data related to Iran's nuclear programme.
"Amir Rahimpour who was a CIA spy and got big pay and tried to present part of Iran's nuclear information to the American service had been tried and sentenced to death and recently the supreme court upheld his sentence and you will see it carried out soon," Fars cited the spokesman as saying.
