TEHRAN: Iran announced on Wednesday that it had executed a man convicted of having connections to Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, amid escalating tensions with Israel and the United States.
According to the judiciary’s official website, Mizan Online, Mehdi Farid was hanged this morning after being found guilty of “extensive cooperation with the terrorist spy organization Mossad” following a thorough review and final verdict.
Details regarding his arrest or trial dates remain undisclosed. The court sentenced him to death on charges of “espionage and intelligence collaboration for the Zionist regime” under the charge of “corruption on earth,” a capital offense under Iranian law.
In recent weeks, Iran has carried out multiple executions linked to protests in January, which authorities claim were incited by Israel, the U.S., and opposition groups such as the banned People’s Mujahedin. Iran has been in a state of conflict with the U.S. and Israel since late February, although a ceasefire has been maintained since April 8.
