US-based Jewish delegation in Iran

Iranian Radio says four delegates from a US-based Jewish group opposed to the state of Israel has arrived in Tehran.

The visit by members of the Neturei Karta Movement comes as the trial continues in the city of Shiraz of thirteen Jews accused of spying for Israel.

It isn't clear whether the delegation will go to Shiraz.

The trial has aroused widespread concern in the West and condemnation by Israel.

Iran has denied that the trial is politically-motivated.
