So, the Iran crisis is still happening. Just in case you wondered.

Reuters:

Iran said on Monday it had captured 17 spies working for the CIA and sentenced some of them to death, an announcement President Donald Trump dismissed as “totally false” amid an escalating international crisis over tankers in the Gulf.

The Iranian announcement came hours before Britain was due to unveil its response to Iran’s seizure of a British oil tanker, a move that has escalated a three-month confrontation that nearly drew the United States and Iran into a shooting war.

Iranian state television published images it said showed CIA officers who had been in touch with the suspected spies. The Ministry of Intelligence said the 17 spies had been arrested in the 12 months to March 2019. Some had been sentenced to death, according to another report.

Trump tweeted saying this was all a lie.

I don’t really have an opinion on if it was a lie or not a lie. The US government claims that Iran lies constantly about catching spies in order to make their people believe they are under assault by the CIA. It seems actually more likely that their people are under assault by the CIA than that the Iranian government is making that up.
