New reports are surfacing that imprisoned Pastor Youcef Nadarkhani was questioned by Iranian officials Wednesday about his case and the charges he's facing. . . .

t's unclear what their intensions were or what was said, but the American Center for Law and Justice warned that the meeting may not be a positive development.

"We are concerned that Iran could be attempting to put together a case against him, manipulating his own words, in order to prove false new allegations against him," Jordan Sekulow said in an email to CBN News.

Delivery of the verdict in Nadarkhani's trial has been delayed to Monday, Oct. 10.

Sekulow said the delay could be a sign that the judges have decided to consult with key religious and political leaders, including Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei or President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. . . .
