Iran says dual national held on suspicion spying for Israel has Swedish citizenship

Iran’s judiciary says that a dual national arrested during the recent 12-day war with Israel and who has since been on trial for espionage holds Swedish citizenship.

“Recently, a case was investigated in Alborz Province regarding a dual-citizen spy. This person received Swedish citizenship in 2020 and has resided there since,” says judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir, according to the judiciary’s Mizan Online news agency.
