Iran has executed a man accused of spying for Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.
According to Tasnim, the man, described as an Israeli spy, provided Mossad with images and sensitive information about key locations in Iran. His death sentence, approved by the Supreme Court, was carried out following legal proceedings.
The report said the man was recruited online while in Sweden, after sharing his personal information on a travel-related group link. Initial contact was reportedly made by a Persian-speaking Mossad officer.
He was arrested in June in the Iranian city of Savjbolagh by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) during the 12-day conflict with Israel. Authorities said he possessed sophisticated espionage, intelligence, and satellite communication equipment.
