The incursion of a Chinese spy balloon into US airspace has turned what could be a normal debate and discussion into another politicized foreign policy issue.
China have continued to deny claims that the balloon was an espionage attempt and insist it was for scientific discovery.
Austria is a “spy paradise” for Iran, Russia, China and Turkey because of weak criminal penalties for espionage.
The alleged arrests were first reported by Iran's Intelligence Ministry in late December.
The alleged Israeli spy reportedly attempted to reenter Hezbollah after being blackmailed by the Mossad, but failed to do so before he was arrested.
