Iran’s judiciary said Wednesday it executed a man it accused of spying for Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency.
The judiciary’s Mizan news agency identified the man as Kourosh Keyvani.
It alleged he “provided images and information on sensitive locations” to the Mossad. Keyvani was the first publicly announced execution for spying during the current war.
Activists and rights groups have warned since Iran’s nationwide protests in January that the country could begin conducting mass executions.
Iran violently suppressed the protests through violence that killed thousands and saw tens of thousands detained.
