An Iranian spy connected to US’s Central Intelligence Agency has been sentenced to death, according to the spokesman of the Judiciary Branch.
“Recently a person named Seyyed Mahmoud Mousavi Majd, who had been connected with Mossad and CIA services and provided information to US and Israeli intelligence services on the whereabouts of the slain Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander Qassem Soleimani, has been given a death sentence by the Islamic Revolution Court,” Gholamhossein Esmaeeli said in his weekly press conference on Tuesday.
He added that the verdict has been verified by the Supreme Court of Iran and will be carried out in the near future.
Lieutenant General Soleimani, leader of the IRGC's Quds Force, and deputy PMU Abu Mahdi al-Muhandis were assassinated in a US drone attack at Baghdad airport on January 3.
