Iran has formally charged two Iranian-American academics currently in jail in Tehran with espionage.

A judiciary official said a third Iranian-American, Nazi Azima, who works for Radio Free Europe, faced the same allegations but had not been arrested.

The judicial spokesman, Ali Reza Jamshidi, said both Haleh Esfandiari and Kian Tajbaksh were formally charged with spying, acting against Iran's national security and conducting propaganda against the Islamic Republic.

Retired U.S. Col. Says U.S. Are Conducting Military Operations Inside Iran

Interesting that this news came out few days later, after Iran says they've uncovered a western spy network - and it looks like they are right. But it is nothing new, since it was seen many times before, that there are several covert operations, sponsored by western intelligence agencies, currently operating in Iran - either by supporting fragments of different ethinc/religious groups which oppose the current government, or by sending several spies to operate from inside Iran itself.

Air Force Colonel Sam Gardiner (Ret.) said:

"We are conducting military operations inside Iran right now. The evidence is overwhelming. From both the Iranians, Americans, and from congressional sources. Absolutely clear the evidence is overwhelming from lots of sources, and, again, most of them you can read in the public, There are lots of other people who have done that. I have talked to Iranians. I asked an Iranian ambassador to the IAEA, what’s this I hear about Americans being there? He said to me, well, we’ve captured some people who worked with them. We’ve confirmed that they’re there."
