Iran Arrests Man On Charges Of Spying For Israel
[Ynet] Islamic Theocratic Republic authorities arrest man for allegedly passing on intelligence to security officer at Israeli embassy in Thailand

Iranian authorities have enjugged
I ain't sayin' nuttin' widdout me mout'piece!
a man on charges of spying for Israel.

The semiofficial Mehr news agency reported that the unidentified man had allegedly passed on intelligence to a security officer at the Israeli embassy in Thailand.

Monday's report said the man was arrested in the southeastern Iranian region of Kerman where he was allegedly collecting data on mines in the area.

The report didn't provide other details beyond saying the man would face trial. It did not say when he was arrested.

Espionage is punishable by death under Iranian law. Iran and Israel have been enemies since the 1979 Islamic Revolution in Iran, with Tehran periodically announcing arrests of people suspected of spying for Israel.

Last week, it was cleared for publication that a 46-year-old Jerusalem resident and member of the Neturei Karta faction, a radical haredi sect, has been charged with offering himself as a spy to the Iranian government.

On Monday, the Jerusalem District Court extended his remand by two days.
