Spy-accused former soldier Daniel Khalife had a 30-minute phone conversation with an Iranian agent while posted at a US army base, a court has heard.
The three calls “rekindled” Iran’s interest in Khalife as an intelligence asset, Woolwich Crown Court was told.
Khalife, who has pleaded guilty to escaping from prison, is accused of collecting secret information and passing it to agents of the Middle Eastern country while serving in the Royal Corps of Signals.
The 23-year-old was posted to Fort Cavazos (then called Fort Hood) in Texas between February and April 2021, where he took part in a joint exercise, his trial heard.
