Iran says it has arrested 17 Iranian nationals allegedly recruited by the Central Intelligence Agency to spy on the country's nuclear and military sites, and some of them have already been sentenced to death.

The announcement comes as Iran's nuclear deal with world powers is unraveling and tensions spike in the Persian Gulf region. The official said some of those arrested worked in nuclear and military sites. He claimed none had succeeded in their sabotage missions.British Prime Minister Theresa May will chair an emergency security session to discuss how to respond to Iran's seizure of a British-flagged tanker in the Strait of Hormuz.

Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt is also expected to brief Parliament on the Friday seizure of the Stena Impero tanker, now in a heavily guarded Iranian port.
