Iran has said it has captured a spy working for British intelligence agency MI6 in the south-eastern city of Kerman.
The head of Kerman's revolutionary court said the alleged spy had admitted being in contact with four British intelligence officers 11 times, both inside and outside the country.
He said the accused had confessed and a trial was under way.
The UK Foreign Office said it did not comment on intelligence matters.
Iran regularly claims to have captured spies working for foreign powers but in most cases the accused is released without charge months later.
The news comes as Iran and Britain take steps to try to re-establish diplomatic relations.
Britain shut down its Tehran embassy in 2011 after it was stormed in a protest over British nuclear sanctions.
Envoy visitIran's envoy to the UK made his first visit to London this week, where he visited the Foreign Office and met officials.
Foreign Secretary William Hague said relations between the two countries were improving on a "reciprocal basis".
The visit followed a temporary deal on Iran's nuclear programme.
Iran last month agreed to curb some of its nuclear activities in return for £4.3bn in sanctions relief, after days of talks in Geneva.
The country agreed to give better access to inspectors and halt some of its work on uranium enrichment for a six-month period.
