Iran executes man accused of espionage for Israel after pardon rejected
[IsraelTimes] Authorities do not name individual who was hanged in Qom, claim he was in contact with Mossad from October 2023 until arrest in early 2024

Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
executed a man convicted of spying for Israel’s Mosssd
...sees all, knows all, gets 'em all in the end...
intelligence agency, the judiciary said Sunday, the latest in a series of executions following a 12-day war in June between the two countries.

"The execution of this spy... was carried out after confirmation by the Supreme Court and the rejection of his pardon request at Qom Prison," Kazem Mousavi, chief justice of Qom province, was quoted as saying by the judiciary’s Mizan Online website.

The identity of the man — who was hanged on Saturday in the holy city of Qom, south of Tehran — was not immediately revealed.

According to the Iranian authorities, the suspect began contacting Israeli intelligence in October 2023 and was arrested in January-February 2024.

Investigators said he confessed to cooperating with Mossad and transmitting confidential information online.

Earlier this month, six men were executed in Khuzestan province for alleged terrorism, and less than a week before that a man described as one of Israel’s top spies was hanged. Iran identified the executed man as Bahman Choobi-asl, whose case wasn’t immediately known in Iranian media reports or to activists monitoring the death penalty
in the Islamic Theocratic Republic.

Another, named as Roozbeh Vadi, was also executed for allegedly passing information about a nuclear scientist killed during the conflict.

Iran is known to have hanged at least ten people for espionage since its June war with Israel. The Israel Defense Forces conducted a sweeping assault on Iran’s top military leaders, nuclear scientists, uranium enrichment sites, and ballistic missile program. Jerusalem said the attack was necessary to prevent the Islamic Theocratic Republic from realizing its avowed plan to destroy the Jewish state, and that Tehran had been taking concrete steps toward assembling an atomic bomb.

Iran responded by firing missile barrages at Israeli cities and military sites.

Entangled in a decades-long shadow war with Israel, Iran has put to death many individuals it accuses of having links with the Mossad and facilitating its operations in the country.

The Islamic Theocratic Republic, which carries out executions by hanging, is the world’s second most prolific executioner after China, according to human rights
...which are usually entirely different from personal liberty...
groups including Amnesty International.

Separately, Iran’s Revolutionary Guards said at least four tribal leaders were killed in Sistan-Balochistan
...the Pak province bordering Kandahar and Uruzgun provinces in Afghanistan and Sistan Baluchistan in Iran. Its native Baloch propulation is being displaced by Pashtuns and Punjabis and they aren't happy about it...
province in southeastern Iran.

The Guards did not identify them further, but authorities in Iran frequently accuse bully boy groups operating in Sistan-Balochistan of having ties to Israel. # id) ?>
