- On Wednesday, Iranian state media reported Iran executed a man identified as Ali Ardestani for spying for Israel's Mossad.
- Tehran says those executed were 'agents of hostile intelligence services' and Iranian officials accused Israel's Mossad of covert attacks including assassinations and cybersabotage.
- IRNA reported that Ali Ardestani confessed, was described as a 'special operative force' supplying images to Mossad, and was recruited online with his case processed by primary courts and the Supreme Court.

- Since the June air war, Tehran has executed 12 people for espionage, and in return, Iran's missile barrage killed 28 in Israel.
