Iran executes man accused of spying for Israel — state media

Iran has executed a man accused of spying for Israel, state media reports, identifying him as Babak Shahbazi.

Shahbazi was accused of using his position as a contractor installing cooling devices to collect information from sensitive locations such as server rooms as well as centers linked to the military and security apparatus.

State media accuses him of working alongside Esmaeil Fekri, another convict executed in June for spying for Israel since early 2022.

Executions of Iranians convicted of spying for Israel have significantly increased this year, with at least nine death sentences carried out in recent months.
