He added that "two more American spies" had been sentenced to 10 years in prison for espionage and five years for acting against national security.

As long as nobody asks their names, all is good...... for now.
There is lots of time for these birds to sing.

$1:

Mr Esmaili did not name them, but said they had been working for a charity.

Charity??
Let me guess: Catholix In Axion?

$1:

There was no immediate comment from the US government or the CIA (Central Intelligence Agency).

Mum is the word.

Isn't death the usual sentence for spying?

They were not CIA assets. If they were then someone I know would have given a shit.

So these poor bastards are just three innocent people who the Iranians are using as a red herring to deflect the latest hate of the gov't back where they feel it belongs, the Great Satan?

[raydan]

So I have to believe the USA or Iran...



...guess what side I'm leaning.

Pretty much, yep.

When shit like this goes down even if it's classified there's still chatter about it or around it if it concerns a US asset.

Ain't nobody talking about Iran right now. These poor shits they're killing are probably just dissidents, low value criminals, or accused homosexuals who were going to get executed anyway and the mullahs decided to put on a show for the angry crowds.

"See??? We're killing CIA spies!!! See?? America is the threat, not us!!!"

Yes though a lot of Western countries are turning to long term if not life in prison in the last 30 years or so. Yet the death penalty is still an option. I would suspect if there was a HOT war going on the death penalty would be imposed vs jail time.

All you have to do to infer that the Supreme Leader is a blowhard to be convicted of spying for the US/Israel/SA/Canada or anybody else they don’t like.
