Former nuclear negotiator Hossein Mousavian
|
Iran's intelligence minister says that former nuclear negotiator Hossein Mousavian is charged with passing intelligence to foreigners.
"He is charged with giving intelligence critical to national interests and security to foreigners including the British Embassy ," Gholam-Hossein Mohseni-Ejei announced.
"He has been informed of the charge as of the first day -of his arrest- and from the viewpoint of the Intelligence Ministry, this charge has been proven," the minister noted.
Mousavian was detained in May, this year, for 'security reasons' as claimed by the authorities. He was released on bail a week later.
Once a member of Iran's nuclear negotiating team, Mousavian, also headed the foreign policy committee of Iran's Supreme National Security Council.
