Iranian authorities have carried out the death sentence against a man convicted of espionage charges, according to reports from the country’s judicial news outlet Mizan on Wednesday.
The executed individual was identified as Kurosh Keyvani, who officials said was convicted of espionage activities targeting his home country.
According to Mizan’s reporting, Keyvani was determined to be “guilty of providing Israel’s spy agency, Mossad, with pictures and information about sensitive locations in Iran.”
This execution represents the latest development in the ongoing covert conflict between Iran and Israel that has persisted for decades. Iranian authorities have previously put to death multiple individuals they claim were connected to Mossad operations or assisted Israeli intelligence activities within Iranian territory.
