... and if you can't believe state television who can you believe?
broadcast on Sunday what it described as the confessions of an Iranian academic with Swedish residency who it said had provided information to Israel to help it assassinate several senior nuclear scientists.
His wife, speaking by telephone from Stockholm, said he had been forced by his interogators to read the confession.
Iran’s Supreme Court upheld last week a death sentence against Ahmadreza Djalali, a doctor and lecturer at the Karolinska Institute, a Stockholm medical university.

in Iran in April 2016 and later convicted of espionage. He denied the charges.
In the television report, Djalali was linked to the liquidation of four Iranian scientists between 2010 and 2012 that Tehran said was an Israeli attempt to sabotage its nuclear energy program.
Djalali said in the report that he had given the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad information about key nuclear scientists.
"They were showing me pictures of some people or satellite photos of nuclear facilities and were asking me to give them information about that," Djalali said in the television report.
Vida Mehrannia, Djalali’s wife, said her husband had been forced to read a pre-agreed confession in front of the camera.
"After three months in solitary confinement, his interrogators told him that he would be released only if he reads from a text in front of the camera," she told Rooters by telephone from Stockholm.
"My husband told me that they shouted at him each time he was saying something different from the text and stopped the filming," Mehrannia added.
