Tehran, Nov 14 (ANI): Iranian intelligence authorities have arrested an individual who had been secretly working for the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) Persian TV channel.
Hassan Fathi has been arrested on charges of spreading lies about Iran and attempting to manipulate public opinion, Xinhua reports.
