Tehran: Iran has reportedly held an American woman along with a microphone, on the allegation of espionage, however the United States has not confirmed the report.
Earlier, Iran had detained three Americans, accusing them of spying for the US, in less than two years.
Iranian daily IRAN reported that the detainee namely Hal Talaian (identified in Farsi not actual) was found with “spying equipment or a microphone” concealed in her teeth when customs authorities detained her in the border town of Nordouz, 370 miles northwest of the capital, Tehran. The paper did not mention the date on which she was arrested.
In Washington, an official at the State Department said the US has reached out to the Swiss, who represent American interests in Iran to look into the reports.
