From meti's link http://www.politico.com/story/2016/08/iran-executes-nuclear-scientist-who-spied-for-us-226763The report I heard was that Assange leaked her email, that is how the Iranians learned the information that resulted in the execution.
Tom
When he did land in his native country on July 15, 2010, he was given a hero’s welcome, and Iranian officials cast him as a double agent, claiming he had infiltrated U.S. intelligence and that Iran had the upper hand in an intelligence war. But soon after returning home, Amiri was taken into custody, presumably imprisoned because of his dalliance with the U.S.
So it appears that Iran knew about his dealings with the US in 2010. If so this would appear to mean that Assange had no hand in it. However, I seriously doubt we will get the entire story from Iran. So, it is speculation that Iran hacked Hillary's emails or Assange is responsible or some other information became available hence the execution.
