6:55 P.M. Report: Washington Post reporter facing 'espionage' charges in Iran

A news agency says a Washington Post journalist detained in Iran for over eight months is accused of "espionage."
The semiofficial Fars news agency says Jason Rezaian, who has been held on unspecified charges since July 22, is also facing the charge of "acting against national security." The report did not elaborate on the source of the information, but the FARS agency is regarded as close to Iran's hard-liners.
