Iran has charged three American adventure tourists with spying after they were caught straying across the border from Iraq.

The move was the first signal that Tehran intends to put Shane Bauer, Sarah Shourd and Josh Fattal on trial.

They were held on July 31 during what the US government and their families say was on a hiking holiday on which they crossed the border accidentally.
