Iran hangs man over spying for Israeli intelligence

Iranian Ali Akbar Siadat was executed in Terehan’s prison according to judicial officials.

He was arrested in 2008 when he tried to leave Iran with his wife.

He was accused of providing details about military bases, fighter jets, training flights, air crashes and missiles in return for $60,000. Espionage is punishable by death under Iranian law.

Terehan regularly accuses Israel of conducting hostile activities against Iran including espionage against its armed forces and nuclear programme.
