Iran says several suspected U.S. spies face possible death sentences
[Jpost] Iranian prosecutors are seeking the death penalty
for several suspects arrested last year for spying for the United States in military and nuclear bodies, state media reported on Tuesday, as tensions rise with Washington over Tehran's nuclear program.

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan, the abbreviation IRGC is a cognate form of Stürmabteilung (or SA), the term Supreme Guide is a cognate form of either Shah or Führer or maybe both, and they hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
said in August it had arrested "tens of spies" in state bodies, many of whom were dual nationals.

In June, Iran said it executed a former contract employee of the defense ministry aerospace body on charges of spying for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency.

Judiciary front man Gholamhossein Esmaili said an unspecified number of suspects, arrested less than a year ago, faced possible death sentence
...the barbaric practice of sentencing a murderer to be punished for as long as his/her/its victim is dead...
s in military tribunals, state televison reported.

"Two of the defendants, who were not military, have received long prison terms," Esmaili added, without giving details.
