An Iranian who spied on slain Revolutionary Guards commander Qassem Soleimani for U.S. and Israeli intelligence has been sentenced to death, Iran said
DUBAI - An Iranian who spied for U.S. and Israeli intelligence on slain Revolutionary Guards commander Qassem Soleimani has been sentenced to death, Iran said on Tuesday, adding the case was not linked to Soleimani’s killing earlier this year.
“He passed on security information to the Israeli and American intelligence agencies about Iran’s armed forces, particularly the Guards,” Esmaili said. “All the legal proceedings in the case of this spy ... had been carried out long before the martyrdom of Soleimani,” the statement said, adding that Mousavi-Majd had been arrested in October 2018.
