"Amir Mirza Hekmati was sentenced to death ... for cooperating with the hostile country (the United States) and spying for the CIA," Fars said, without giving a source.
"The court found him Corrupt on Earth and Mohareb (waging war on God)."
Judiciary officials were not available for comment.
Hekmati, a 28-year-old of Iranian descent, was arrested in December and Iran`s Intelligence Ministry accused him of receiving training at U.S. bases in neighbouring Afghanistan and Iraq.
Iran`s judiciary said Hekmati admitted to having links with the CIA but said he had no intention of harming Iran. (*)
