伊朗处决了一位核科学家，此人因将德黑兰有争议的核项目的绝密情报交给美国被定罪。
星期天，伊朗官方通讯社确认沙赫拉姆·阿米里被处决。伊朗司法部发言人莫赫赛尼·艾杰伊说：“阿米里通过他和美国的联系，将至关重要的国家情报交给敌人。”
艾杰伊说，法庭判处阿米里死刑，伊朗最高法院维持了这一判决。
阿米里2009年离开伊朗，前往沙特阿拉伯，一年以后转往美国。美国官员说，他们向阿米里支付了500万美元，让他离开伊朗，提供伊朗核项目的信息。
一位美国官员2010年说，美国从阿米里那里得到了“有用的信息”。
Iran has executed a nuclear scientist who was convicted of giving top secret information about Tehran's controversial nuclear program to the United States.
The execution of Shahram Amiri was confirmed Sunday by Iran's official news agency, IRNA. "Through his connection with the United States, Amiri gave vital information about the country to the enemy," said judicial spokesman Gholamhosein Mohseni Ejehi.
Ejehi said a court had sentenced Amiri to death, a sentence that was upheld by Iran's Supreme Court.
Amiri left for Saudi Arabia in 2009 and relocated to the United States a year later. U.S. officials said they paid Amiri about $5 million to leave Iran and provide information about Iran's nuclear program.
A U.S. official said in 2010 that the U.S. received "useful information" from Amiri.
