TEHRAN, Sept. 1 (Xinhua) -- Iran's Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has arrested an Iranian-American dual national in the country's northeastern province of Golestan on spying and security charges, Tasnim news agency reported on Thursday.

The IRGC identified the unnamed individual upon arrival in the country in July and arrested him later; the report did not say when exactly he was arrested.

He was charged with cooperating with hostile countries, acting against national security, and having links with anti-revolutionary elements and media, the report said.

Last month, Iran reportedly arrested another person, also with dual citizenship, who was accused of being linked to Britain's foreign intelligence service MI6.
