Iran executes man convicted of spying for Israel

Iran has executed a man convicted of spying for Israel, according to the judiciary’s Mizan news agency.

The man was found guilty of providing Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad, with photos and information about sensitive sites in Iran, Mizan said.

Iran has carried out several executions in recent years of individuals accused of links to Israeli intelligence, amid ongoing tensions between the two countries.

On Monday, Iran’s intelligence organisation in Khorasan Razavi arrested 10 suspected foreign-linked “mercenary elements” accused of espionage activities.
