Iran executes man accused of spying for Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleIran says it hanged a man accused of spying for Israel, the latest as Tehran carries out its largest wave of executions in decades.
Iran identifies the executed man as Bahman Choobiasl, whose case wasn’t immediately known in Iranian media reports or to activists monitoring the death penalty in the Islamic Republic.
Iran accused Choobiasl of meeting with officials from the Israeli spy agency Mossad. Iran’s Mizan news agency, which is the judiciary’s official mouthpiece, says Choobiasl worked on “sensitive telecommunications projects“ and reported about the “paths of importing electronic devices.”
