Iran executes two men convicted of spying for Israel

Iran has carried out the execution of two individuals accused of collaborating with Israeli intelligence, according to an official statement from the country’s judiciary.

Authorities said the two men were convicted on charges of espionage linked to Mossad, and were found guilty of working with what officials described as a hostile intelligence network operating within Iran.

According to the judiciary, the suspects had been under investigation for activities considered detrimental to national security.

Their death sentences were subsequently upheld by the country’s Supreme Court prior to being enforced.

The executions were confirmed on April 20, 2026, although officials did not provide specific details regarding the exact time or location.

Iranian authorities stated that the case is part of ongoing efforts to counter and dismantle foreign intelligence operations within its borders.

There has been no independent confirmation of the allegations, and Israeli authorities have not issued any immediate response.

The incident reflects the persistent strain in relations between the two countries, with Iran frequently reporting the uncovering of alleged espionage networks tied to Israeli operatives.
