Iran executes man convicted of mission ordered by Israeli Mossad
Share:
Iran executed a man who was convicted of carrying out a mission assigned to him by Mossad, Israel's intelligence service. The execution occurred shortly after Iran hanged another man on Thursday who had been sentenced to death for membership in a banned opposition group. Iran, which is governed by a Shia Islamic theocracy, frequently executes individuals convicted of espionage, terrorism, or opposition activities, often following trials that international human rights groups criticize as lacking due process.
