The 28-year-old received the death penalty for “ cooperating with a hostile nation, membership of the CIA and trying to implicate Iran in terrorism,” the verdict said, according to the country’s semi-official Fars news agency.

Yes its a dangerous game treason and spying but I'm sure he was aware of the consequences when he signed up to the CIA to be one of their spy network.

Please provide evidence that the U.S. has executed any Iranian spies?

The United States holds supersovereignty.
