Sentenced to death? They're not given a chance to prove otherwise. One reason to love our country. Are we capable of this or are the possibilities far fetched?
If any of them were spying for the U.S. then our country made them traitors to their own country. Yay us.
Remember how mad we used to get when people committed treason against the U.S.? Ahh, the good old days pre dictator wannabe. It's punishable by death here still, if memory serves, so yeah we'd be capable of it.
Sorry for those pawns - whether actual US assets or simply those chosen to be sacrificed for the Iranian greater good.
