In summer of 2019, Iranian media outlets revealed details of a major cyber-espionage ring claimed to be run by US intelligence, saying that a total of 17 CIA-trained spies had been identified, publishing photo and video evidence of alleged US attempts to recruit Iranians to work against their government.
Two individuals spying for the CIA in Iran have been sentenced to ten and five years in prison respectively, Iran's judiciary spokesman Gholamhossein Ismaili said at a press conference on Tuesday.
