Security forces in Iran have arrested two suspected "spy pigeons" near the country's controversial uranium enrichment facility. One of the pigeons was caught near a rose water production plant in the city of Kashan in Isfahan province, the report cited an unnamed informed source as saying, adding that some metal rings and invisible strings were attached to the bird.

It's not yet known what has become of the birds.

Could pigeons really be used as spies on Iran?
Guess I wouldn't put it past intelligence gatherers, especially as they'd be nicely inconspicuous - that is, unless they're seen mysteriously wandering around an Iranian nuclear facility..
