Iran executed its own citizen for spying for CIA

News24xx.com - Aerospace contractor Jalal Haji Zavar was executed at Rajai Shahr prison, Iran, after Iranian officials found documents and spying equipment at his home. The former employee of Ministry of Defense was executed after he was revealed to have been spying on the country for US’ Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

The incident happened just days after the country shot down an American spy drone. It alerted American military assets in the region, and they were prepared to launch a bombardment before Donald Trump called off the strike and ordered to stand down.

“We were cocked & locked to retaliate last night on 3 different sights when I asked, how many will die. 150 people, sir, was the answer from a General. 10 minutes before the strike I stopped it. Not proportionate to shooting down an unmanned drone,” Trump had tweeted on Friday morning.
