Iran executes man convicted of spying for Israel’s Mossad, judiciary says
The judiciary said he supplied missile-site information to Mossad for money, and the Supreme Court upheld the sentence before the hanging.
- On Saturday, Iranian authorities executed Hossein Pedaran following a Supreme Court conviction for espionage, according to judiciary-affiliated Mizan News. Pedaran was accused of collaborating with Israel's Mossad intelligence service.
- Authorities alleged Pedaran shared details about missile sites in Isfahan with Mossad, claiming he initially contacted the CIA without success before communicating via WhatsApp with an individual named "Ben."
- The judiciary stated Pedaran carried out espionage for financial gain during the 12-day war in June 2025, presenting his alleged account of contact with intelligence agencies as a central element of the conviction.
- This execution is part of a broader campaign against individuals accused of working with foreign intelligence services, though human-rights organizations have questioned the fairness of such cases relying on detention statements.
- Iranian authorities dismantled an alleged spy network earlier this year, arresting 50 people accused of providing coordinates of critical sites; Tehran routinely attributes such operations to the United States or Israel.
