Iran sentences two French nationals to jail for allegedly spying for Israel, France

Iranian authorities hand down two French nationals lengthy prison sentences after convicting them on multiple charges, including spying for Israel, the judiciary says.

The judiciary’s Mizan Online website does not identify the two nationals but says they were handed several sentences on charges including “spying for the French intelligence,” “association to commit a crime against national security,” and “intelligence cooperation with the Zionist regime.”

Iran frequently accuses foreign nationals of spying without providing evidence.
