An Iranian man has been sentenced to death for spying for Israel, according to reports from Tehran, reported BBC.

Ali Ashtari was found guilty of sending "sensitive information on military, defence and research centres" to Iran's arch foe in the region, reports say.

Israeli officials have been quoted as saying that Israel was not familiar with the case.

Iranian media say he was put on trial on Saturday. He confessed to charges against him and asked for clemency.
