(BBC) A former British army soldier who is accused of being a spy for Iran and escaping from Wandsworth Prison last year offered to go for training in Iran, a court heard.
The jury at his Woolwich Crown Court trial heard the recording of a conversation that the prosecution said was between Daniel Khalife and two Iranian contacts in November 2021.
Mr Khalife, now 23, is accused of gathering information for Iran, compiling a list of special forces soldiers, perpetrating a bomb hoax and escaping prison.
He denies all the charges.
In the recording, Mr Khalife apparently discusses with the two men whether he should travel to Iran or to Lebanon.
