Iran arrests Lebanese american on espionage charges

A Lebanese american, who had close ties with the US intelligence and military structures, has been arrested in Iran, the local sources said.

The photos of the arrested Nazar Zaka show him wearing a military uniform in the Riverside Military Academy in the US, Mehr News Agency reported.

Other sources called Zaka "a hidden treasure" for his deep connections with intelligence and military facilities in the United States.

Zaka has previously been to Iran. In August 2014, he attended an IT exhibition in Tehran as director of the Arab Countries ICT Council.

Saeed Abedini, Amir Hekmati, and Jason Rezaian are other jailed Americans in Iran.
