Tehran: Iran has executed a “defence ministry contractor” convicted of spying for the CIA, semi-official news agency ISNA reported Saturday.
“The execution sentence was carried out for Jalal Haji Zavar, a contractor for the defence ministry’s aerospace organisation who spied for the CIA and the American government,” ISNA reported, quoting the Iranian military.
A former US military analyst worries delaying a strike action against Iran for downing an unmanned American surveillance drone could embolden Iran to take further strikes against the US or US allies.
The news agency did not detail when he was executed.
