TEHRAN (Reuters) – Iran's state television denied on Thursday that border guards had detained an American woman on suspicion of spying.
"This woman tried to enter the country illegally but she was prevented from doing so," Iran's Arabic language television al-Alam quoted an unnamed source as saying, without giving further details.
The semi-official Fars news agency reported earlier in the day that border guards in the town of Nordouz in northwestern Iran had arrested an American woman after she had illegally entered Iran from Armenia.
Fars also said the woman was arrested about a week ago. The state-run daily Iran named the 55-year-old woman as Hall Talayan and said an espionage device was found in her teeth.
