Iran executed an electronics salesman convicted of relaying information on the country's nuclear program and other sensitive data to Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, a judiciary spokesman said Saturday.
Ali Ashtari was hanged Nov. 17 after being sentenced to death on June 30 by a revolutionary court in Tehran, spokesman Ali Reza Jamshidi said. It was the country's first known conviction for espionage linked to Israel in almost a decade.
If you allow someone to steal your nuclear energy plans, you really cripple you ability to compete against wind and solar. Clearly the Iranians take their nuclear electricity security seriously. Why else execute someone for stuff like this? I mean, it isn't like they have nuclear weapons secrets to hide, right?
I suspect the Iranians got the pigeons to talk (or maybe the squirrels).
