On Sunday it was reported that an American woman surrendered herself to the Iranian boarder guards saying that she was a spy. During the investigation it was found out that this was all a lie.
the woman claimed that she had spy devices in her teeth and that she was sent by Americans. When put under investigations she was found to have phychological problems, and her claims about being a spy and having spying devices were said to be not true.The woman was identified as Hall Talayan was deported after it was proven that her phychological problems were true. Fars 55, was detained by boarder officials after she turned herself in as a spy.
Iranian officals told the news on Thursday that Talayan had entered the country without a visa. but on Friday American security Agency reports that this is most likely not true. And Artsvin Bagramian, the head on National Secerity Services, said that their are no reports of anyone by that name entering America by birth or imigration so this story is highly unlikely
When the truth was found out the woman pleaded with the officials not to return her to america because she feared for her life their. She is being detained in a nearby location.
A witness came forward saying that the woman is American but couldnt enter the iran because she didnt have a visa.
The U.S noted the conflicting reports and is trying to get information from Switzerland, who represents the U.S in Iranian affairs. Officials are also looking into seperate cases involving people who have been captured their and are still being held as "spies" after accidentaly crossing the boarder when hiking.
