Iran executes monarchist convicted of armed attacks during war, judiciary news outlet says
The judiciary said he was convicted of armed attacks and other charges, and Amnesty International said Iran executed at least 2,159 people in 2025.
Iran executed Alisina Mostafavi this morning after the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence for armed operations in Kerman during the Ramadan War.
The Iranian judiciary described Mostafavi as 'an armed terrorist and agent of the American-Zionist enemy,' alleging he engaged in war with intent to cause terror during the conflict.
Authorities recovered a sniper rifle, shotgun, 246 cartridges, and 30 Molotov cocktails from Mostafavi's hideout, with the conviction resting on 'the defendant's own explicit confessions.'
Evidence linked Mostafavi to a shooting at Azadi Square injuring two people, plus two earlier unsuccessful shootings at Kerman-Mahan and planned attacks at Kerman Airport.
Mizan reported Mostafavi was an active member of a 'royalist terrorist network' with hostile media connections, occurring amid broader Iranian police crackdowns on civilians.
