AFP -- Iran has put on trial two people on charges of working for the spy agency of its arch-foe Israel and filming sensitive military sites, Tehran prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi said on Monday.
Dolatabadi said the trial started on Saturday, but he did not identify the two who he said were arrested in 2009, the ISNA news agency reported.
"The charges against these two people are spying for the Zionist regime, filming sensitive military sites, travelling to areas which is considered to be a crime under the law, and acquiring illicit money from the Israeli spy agency," Dolatabadi told a news conference, without further elaboration.
He said the case was ongoing, and a verdict was yet to be reached.
The Islamic republic has blamed the Jewish state and the United States for the unexplained disappearances of several of its military officials and nuclear scientists.
On August 28, a court in Tehran sentenced to death a man accused of playing a key role in the 2010 murder of a top Iranian nuclear scientist and of spying for Israel.
Western powers and Israel suspect Iran is seeking a nuclear weapons capability under the guise of its civilian atomic and space programmes, a charge Tehran vehemently denies.
