Iranian nuclear scientist-informant executed for treason

The official IRNA news agency quoted a spokesman for Iran’s judiciary, Gholamhosein Mohseni Ejehi, confirming the execution of Shahram Amiri, an Iranian nuclear scientist caught up in a real-life us spy mystery who later returned to his home country and disappeared.

Iran yesterday announced it had executed nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri on charges of leaking “top secret information” to the United States. “By establishing contact with the U.S., Amiri gave the country’s vital information to the enemy”, Mohseni-Ejehi said.

Amiri’s mother confirms that she has identified her son’s body with visible ligature mark around his neck indicating that he was hung.

The release of Clinton’s emails past year by the State Department appeared to have been damning for Amiri.

New Hillary Clinton emails released by the State Department appear to lift the curtain on the freakish circumstances surrounding Shahram Amiri, an Iranian nuclear scientist who claims to have been abducted by the Central Intelligence Agency. His version of events was that he was drugged, abducted, interrogated, psychologically tortured and held against his will by the Central Intelligence Agency, and that he wanted to return home to Iran.

USA officials in 2010 said they paid Amiri some $5 million to defect and provide “significant” information about Iran’s atomic program, they even promised him to remain in the United States for his safety but Amiri later fled the USA without the money. But he was later arrested and tried for treason.

Clinton, who was secretary of state at the time, said that Amiri had been in the United States “of his own free will”. In July 2010, however, Amiri contacted the Iran interest section of the Pakistani Embassy in Washington, asking to return to Iran. For his part, Amiri said that he was a low-level researcher without access to significant information about Iran’s nuclear program, but USA officials said that he had been cooperative and had provided sensitive information about Iran’s nuclear program.

Iran has confirmed the execution of nuclear scientist Shahram Amiri who was charged with espionage. “This could lead to problematic news stories in the next 24 hours”.

The Obama administration said last week that the cash paid soon after the implementation of the deal under which Iran agreed to limit its nuclear programme, and following the release of five detained Americans, was not “ransom” as some U.S. Republicans had alleged.

Shahram Amiri, an Iranian nuclear scientist, attends a news conference as he arrives at the Imam Khomeini airport just outside Tehran, Iran, after returning from the United States on July 20, 2010.

“This person who had access to the country’s secret and classified information had been linked to our hostile and No. 1 enemy, America”, Ejehi said.

The controversy surrounding Amiri’s execution has many believing Hillary Clinton, in her ignorance and use of an unsecured private server, has proven her inability to keep the nation safe.

The spokesman dispelled a “rumour” by Amiri’s family that he had received a 10-year prison term.

Some reports say he had in-depth knowledge of Iran’s nuclear program. Then he appeared at the Pakistani Embassy wanting to return to Iran.

The email, written by Richard Morningstar and sent to Sullivan, reads: “Per the subject we discussed, we have a diplomatic, “psychological” issue, not a legal issue”. The U.S. also actively recruited nuclear scientists to defect, while a series of bombings killed others.
