Iran says it executed individual accused of spying for Israel
Iran says an individual who was spying for Israel has been executed in Sistan and Baluchestan Province.
According to the official IRNA news agency, the individual was charged with “collecting classified information and providing information to the Mossad spy service with the aim of disrupting order.”
The report says the suspect provided information to foreign spy services, chief among them, Mossad.
The unnamed individual was executed at Zahedan prison earlier this morning.
Tehran frequently claims to foil Mossad operations in the country, but the veracity of such claims is unclear.
