Iranian state media published a video on Thursday that they said showed British-Iranian national Alireza Akbari, who is facing the death penalty for spying, played a role in the 2020 assassination of Iran's top nuclear scientist.
The video was aired a day after state media said a death sentence had been handed down to Akbari, who previously served as Iran's deputy defense minister, on charges of spying for Britain, which has demanded he be released.
