Tehran, Iran – Iranian judicial authorities announced on Monday morning the execution of two Iranians convicted of collaborating with the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. These alleged activities took place during the 12-day war last year. This occurred amidst escalating regional tensions.
Nature of the charges against the convicts
In an official statement carried by the Iranian news agency Fars, judicial authorities detailed the charges against the convicted individuals. The charges centered on hacking into sensitive sites and transmitting highly sensitive information to Israel. The investigation revealed that the first defendant, during the war, sent precise coordinates, snapshots, and detailed information concerning vital military and security centers to Mossad officers. He also forwarded this information to his contacts.
Technical examinations and forensic analysis of his mobile phone, conducted by the relevant authorities, confirmed his repeated involvement in transmitting geographical locations and strategic data pertaining to sensitive military and security installations. The second defendant was formally convicted of direct intelligence cooperation with Israel. His primary role focused on monitoring, collecting, and transmitting coordinates of various military and security sites. These actions aimed to facilitate their targeting or using them in Israeli intelligence operations against Iranian infrastructure.
Security and political context
These court rulings and announcements come amid heightened security measures imposed by Iranian authorities since last year’s war. Simultaneously, security and judicial bodies are intensifying their efforts to pursue and prosecute spy networks linked to Israeli and Western intelligence.
