Iran Executes Two Men Convicted of Spying for Israel
Iran says it executed Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat on Monday after convicting them of spying for Israel and collaborating with Mossad. The judiciary alleged that the men passed information on sensitive military and security locations to Israeli intelligence during the conflict. Authorities did not disclose when they were arrested, how long they were held, or details of their trials. The executions come amid an intensified Iranian crackdown on people accused of links to Israeli intelligence networks. Human-rights groups have raised concerns about the use of the death penalty in national-security cases, citing allegations of opaque trials and limited due-process protections. Advocacy groups say Iran carried out at least 1,639 executions in 2025, its highest reported annual total in decades.
