They found a copy of a letter to the Prime Minister from two senior government ministers.
Smith had also passed on details of workers’ identities and activities.
Prosecutor Alison Morgan KC said he had “an extreme hatred of where he works and the United Kingdom in general”.
Scot Smith, from Paisley, claimed he had mental health issues and just wanted to embarrass the embassy.
He admitted to eight spy charges.
