Israeli accused of spying for Iran
Iran, officials said Tuesday, accusing the Islamic republic of stepping up its attempts to recruit visiting Israelis. The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity under agency rules, did not say when the man, who is Jewish, was detained or if he was still in custody. Israel and Iran are bitter enemies. Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has repeatedly called for Israel to be “wiped off the map” and Israel says he is seeking a nuclear arsenal. But the countries are not officially in a state of war and Israelis with family ties in Iran are still allowed to visit there.
