Man executed by Iran for nuclear espionage was nuclear scientist, state media say

Rouzbeh Vadi, who state media said was executed on Wednesday for giving information on Iran's nuclear programme to Israel's Mossad spy agency, was himself a nuclear scientist, state broadcaster IRIB said on Thursday.

The judiciary's news outlet Mizan had said on Wednesday that Vadi was convicted of spying for Israel and passing on information about a nuclear scientist killed in Israel's June air strikes on the Islamic Republic.

"Key facilities were Fordow and Natanz (uranium enrichment plants), for which I sent information. I told them I knew this and that about Fordow, they (Mossad agent) told me to send everything," Vadi said in what IRIB described as a confession video it ran on the air.

"The entry and exit of nuclear material into the Uranium Conversion Facility (UCF) and Fuel Manufacturing Plant (FMP) were very important to them," Vadi, who held a PhD in nuclear engineering from Amir Kabir University of Technology, added.
