Iran says 4 sentenced to death for alleged collaboration with Israeli intelligence

Iran announces the arrest of Israeli spies from time to time. The veracity of such claims is unclear and there is seldom a public Israeli response.

The report said three others were sentenced to prison terms of between five and 10 years, over alleged crimes of acting against national security, aiding kidnappings and possessing illegal weapons.
