Iranian official said on Monday that 17 people recruited by the US intelligence agency (CIA) to spy on Iran’s nuclear and military sites have been arrested, sentenced some of them to long term in prison and some to death. According to the Iranian authority, the spies mission included collecting information at the facilities they worked at, carrying out technical and intelligence activities, transferring and installing monitoring devices. President Donald Trump in his Twitter page denied the claim, calling it “totally false”. The tension between Iran and the United States started after the United States decided to exit from the 2015 nuclear agreement and imposed heavy economic sanctions on Iran.
