Iran executes two individuals convicted of spying for Mossad

Iran's judiciary has executed two individuals convicted of espionage for the Israeli intelligence agency Mossad, according to a report by Mehr News. The executed individuals were identified as Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat. Officials stated that Mossad had attempted to recruit agents inside Iran using a network of direct and indirect communication channels during the period of U.S. and Israeli military aggression that began with the February 28 attack.

Behzad was found to have repeatedly sent coordinates, geographical locations, and information on military, law enforcement, and security centers to Mossad-linked networks during the 40-day war. He used mapping software to locate and transmit the data. The administrator of a Telegram channel linked to the Israeli regime told him that the coordinates would be placed in the IDF target bank after verification and transmitted directly to Mossad through a secure route.

Safvat sent images and information on critical sites to the Iran International television network, which is described as part of the Mossad-linked communication framework. Some of the locations he provided were subsequently bombed. He had also filmed and transmitted video of air defense systems from high rooftops during the 12-day war, according to the case file.

Both spies were arrested by the intelligence arm of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). They were convicted on charges of espionage and intelligence cooperation with the Israeli regime. Their sentences were reviewed and confirmed by the Supreme Court before being carried out.

According to Mehr News, the executions were carried out after the judicial process was completed. The report did not specify the exact date or location of the executions. This development comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, with Iran frequently accusing Israel of conducting espionage and sabotage operations within its borders.
