Iran has hanged a man suspected of being “one of the most important spies for Israel in Iran” in the 10th such execution following the 12-day war in June with Israel and the United States, according to Iran’s Mizan news agency.
On Monday, Mizan, the judiciary’s news outlet, reported that Bahman Choobiasl was executed over his meeting with officials from the Israeli spy agency, Mossad.
According to Mizan, Choobiasl had worked on “sensitive telecommunications projects”.
Iran’s Supreme Court rejected the defendant’s appeal and confirmed the death sentence on charges of “corruption on earth”, it said.
Choobiasl is the second person to be executed this month after Babak Shahbazi was hanged, also held guilty of spying for Israel.
However, activists disputed the claim and said Shahbazi was tortured into a false confession after writing a letter to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy to offer to fight in Kyiv.
