According to Sky News, he was said to have revealed top secrets to "the enemy", according to a judicial spokesman, who claimed Tehran had "outsmarted" America.
News of his reported death comes a year after his country agreed a landmark agreement with the West to limit uranium enrichment in exchange for lifting economic sanctions. Mr Amiri, who had worked for a university affiliated to Iran's defence ministry, vanished in June 2009 while on a pilgrimage to holy sites in Saudi Arabia.
He resurfaced a year later in the US when he appeared in a set of online videos.Mr Amiri then walked into the Iranian interests section at the Pakistani Embassy in Washington and demanded to be sent home, returning to a hero's welcome in Tehran.
Back in the Islamic republic, he said he had been held in the US for more than a year after being "kidnapped" at gunpoint by two Farsi-speaking CIA agents in Medina.
