Iran has begun the trial of a dual national with European citizenship, accused of espionage and intelligence cooperation with Israel. The defendant, whose identity remains undisclosed, reportedly entered Iran shortly before a recent conflict in which Israeli and United States forces targeted Iranian nuclear sites. Authorities claim the individual was arrested by the Revolutionary Guards and that advanced espionage equipment was found at their residence. The charges under consideration are severe, carrying possible death penalties, and come amid ongoing tensions over the detention of dual nationals in Iran. Rights groups and Western governments have criticized such arrests, alleging they are used as bargaining chips, a claim Iran denies.
