Iran executes two men convicted of spying for Israel, according to Iranian state-linked reporting and the country’s judiciary. Multiple outlets say the men were accused of providing sensitive military and security information to Israeli-linked intelligence during the recent period of conflict involving Israel. Several reports describe the allegations as including transmission of military or security-related information, such as the locations of facilities, through channels connected to Israel’s intelligence services. One outlet also names a defendant, Omid Behzad, and states prosecutors alleged he passed locations of Iranian military and law-enforcement sites via communication links associated with Mossad.
The executions are presented by sources as part of a broader pattern of increased death sentences and executions in Iran’s national security cases. Several outlets link the rise in executions to heightened tensions and to the broader conflict context described as involving Israel and the United States. The reports generally attribute the information to Iran’s official judiciary or state media and do not include independent verification or details from defense representatives. The timing is reported as occurring on Monday.
