IranWire:

Iranian Revolutionary Guards' Intelligence Unit have extracted a forced confession from the detained Iranian-American journalist Jason Rezain under duress. In a short conversation an Iranian security official, who withheld his name due to the sensitivity of the case, told IranWire that the Guards pressed Rezaian to confess in order to “influence Iran's nuclear negotiations with the Western powers, including the United States.”

The official did not elaborate as to how the confession will be used, and when it will be aired. Many Iranian journalists who have been imprisoned and recently released have said that they were forced to confess on camera to a variety of charges including espionage, 'acting against the holy Islamic Republic,' and 'endangering national security.' Many commanders of the Guards, who are assigned by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, have expressed their dissatisfaction with moderate President Hassan Rouhani’s government’s negotiations with the West.
