TEHRAN (FNA)- Iran's revolution court sentenced an Israeli spy to death.

"The spy, whose identity will be revealed after the final approval of the
verdict (by the Supreme Court), has been sentenced to death," Tehran's
Prosecutor Abbas Jaffari Dolatabadi said Sunday.

In October, Iran arrested seven individuals on charges of spying for Israeli
intelligence services. According to security and judiciary officials, one of
the spies was involved in counterrevolutionary activities, and one was
working on issues pertaining to the country's domestic affairs.

Five others were arrested for infiltrating the country's administrative
institutions and passing classified data to foreign countries.

These spies supplied the enemy with information on Iran's judiciary,
military and space agencies, among other things, prior to their arrest.

Jaffari Dolatabadi said that other cases of espionage were being
investigated by the prosecutor's office.

Also in October, Iranian Minister of Science, Research, and Technology
Kamran Daneshjoo warned that the spy agencies of several enemy states were
striving hard to infiltrate and influence the country's academic centers.

"…enemies are trying to change the Islamic atmosphere of the universities
into their own favorite atmosphere of liberal-democracy and to give a new
definition for Islamic values based on their own views," Daneshjoo said.

The Iranian minister further reminded the alarming remarks of the Supreme
Leader about the continued efforts made by the enemy spy agencies to
influence Iranian university students, and stated, "How can one rest under
such conditions? Enemies are active in this regard because they have
realized the importance of universities."
