Iran says it is pursuing the case of a suspect who supplied the US-Iranian journalist Roxana Saberi with confidential documents about the American invasion of Iraq, Press TV reported.
Saberi, 32, who worked as a freelance reporter for National Public Radio and the BBC from 2003 to early 2009 in Tehran, was charged with espionage by the Iranian government.
The American-Iranian journalist was convicted of the charge after it was revealed that she had obtained confidential documents while working as a translator for a powerful clerical lobby.
Iranian Judiciary spokesman Alireza Jamshidi on Tuesday said the country's officials had identified the person responsible for leaking the classified documents.
"The person who provided her with the document had not been identified at first; but now he/she has been summoned," Jamshidi told a press conference.
