Iran Carries Out Death Sentences for Two Men Accused of Israeli Spy Network Ties

Iranian authorities carried out death sentences on Sunday against two men who were found guilty of working with Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, according to reports from the country’s judicial news service Mizan.

The executed individuals were named as Mohammad Masoum Shahi and Hamed Validi, who officials claimed were part of an espionage operation connected to Israeli intelligence. According to Mizan, both men had undergone training in foreign locations, including Iraq’s Kurdistan region.

The pair faced multiple charges, including “enmity against God” and collaborating with enemy organizations. Iran’s Supreme Court confirmed their death sentences before the executions were performed, Mizan stated.
