The US Justice Department charged a former air force intelligence officer Wednesday with spying for Iran, saying she posed as a US agent and helped the Revolutionary Guard develop cyber targets in the US military. US officials said Monica Witt, who worked for years in US Air Force counterintelligence, had an "ideological" turn against her country and exposed US intelligence operations against Tehran.
