Working for the military of an enemy state to undermine the government and instigate rebellion. I'm not making a value judgement. All I'm saying is that when you take everything into account, the legal charge isn't crazy. The punishment is a different matter; Iran's legal system is obviously barbaric.
- jackpirate 15y agoTreason is punishable by death in the US too.
- psykotic 15y agoYes, it is one of the only countries left in the Western world that still has capital punishment on the books. But death is not mandated as the minimum punishment: "Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States."
