Iran Starts Trial of Two Israeli Spies

TEHRAN (FNA)- Senior Iranian judiciary officials announced that the country has started trial of two spies who worked for the Israeli spy agency, Mossad.
Speaking to reporters here on Monday, Tehran's Public and Revolution Courts Prosecutor Abbas Jafari Dolatabadi said the trial of the two Israeli spies who were arrested in 2009 started on Saturday.

"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.

On August 28, a court in Tehran sentenced to death another Israeli Mossad agent who played a key role in the 2010 assassination of a top Iranian nuclear scientist.

The Mossad-affiliated terrorist, Majid Jamali Fashi, was sentenced to death for assassinating Iran's renowned nuclear scientist, Dr. Massoud Ali-Mohammadi, and for spying for Iran's arch-foe, Israel.

Majid Jamali Fashi had pleaded guilty to murdering Dr. Ali-Mohammadi in January 2010.

Ali-Mohammadi's family had asked for a death penalty for Jamali Fashi for his direct role in the assassination of the nuclear scientist.

After the first court session, Dolatabadi had announced that Jamali Fashi had been trained in Mossad's military bases.

" Majid Jamali Fashi had traveled to Israel several times and had received the necessary trainings for the assassination in Mossad's bases," Jafari Dolatabadi.

He also stated that Jamali Fashi had received $120,000 from the Zionist regime to carry out the assassination and then returned to Iran.

Majid Jamali Fashi said in his confessions aired by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) on January 11, "I became acquainted with a number of Israeli officers on the Jerusalem-Tel Aviv highway after we had a visit to Israel and I received different training courses, including chasing, running, counter-chasing and techniques for planting bombs in a car."

The terrorist added that he had also been trained in that Israeli garrison how to carry out bomb attacks while riding a motorcycle.

Jamali Fashi also said that he had received psychological and operational briefings for assassinating Dr. Ali Mohammadi and had exercised the bombing plot for killing the Iranian scientist several times at the Israeli garrison.

He also mentioned during his confessions that small models of Dr. Mohammadi's house and his house surroundings were used during his training course.
