A website linked to Iran's judiciary carried a statement on Tuesday saying a man convicted of spying for the CIA would be executed soon.

The video statement from spokesman Gholamhossein Esmaili, marked "live" on the screen, was similar to a statement he gave on Feb. 4.

It was not clear if Esmaili would address the topic at a press conference on Tuesday.
