The state news agency of Iran, "IRNA", reported Sunday morning that the authorities of the Islamic Republic executed four people accused of collaborating with the Israeli Mossad. According to the report, they were executed by hanging.

Iran only announced the death penalty was handed down last Wednesday, and only after that, it was reported that they were convicted of involvement in various kidnappings. According to the reports, they were members of a "network of thugs" that operated for the "Zionist intelligence services". It is claimed that they stole and destroyed private and public property, and kidnapped people in order to obtain "false confessions" from them.

In the reports last week, it was not specifically stated who the four allegedly worked for, but IRNA later claimed that it was the Israeli Mossad, and that it paid them for their activities through cryptocurrency. In the report, the four who were executed were identified as Hussein Ordokhanzadeh, Shahin Imani Mahmoudbadi, Milad Ashrafi, and Manusher Shahabandi.

Along with these four, Iran announced last week that three more people were convicted in the affair and sent to prison sentences ranging between five and ten years, for crimes of alleged harm to national security. The three, it is claimed, helped carry out the same kidnappings and also possessed illegal weapons.

Iran's judiciary this morning announced the execution of four men convicted of "cooperating" with Israel's Mossad intelligence service.

All four were arrested in May and charged with "intelligence cooperation" with Israel and "kidnapping", according to state media.

Iran has become notorious for accusing its enemies such as Israel, the US, and Saudi Arabia of trying to undermine its rule, and from time to time it reports on the arrest of people suspected of spying for Israel. Two years ago, Iran executed a man who was convicted of leaking the information that allegedly helped the Americans eliminate the Commander Quds Force of the Revolutionary Guards Qasem Soleimani, in an attack at the Baghdad airport in January 2020.

In recent weeks, the Ayatollah regime has intensified its accusations against Israel and the United States, claiming that they are behind the hijab protest, which has been sweeping Iran for the past two months and has become one of the most significant challenges for the regime since the Islamic revolution in 1979. The protest erupted following the death of Mahsa Amini after she was arrested by Tehran's morality police because she was "negligent" in wearing her hijab and thus violated the country's modesty laws.

The demonstrations in Iran have led to severe clashes between protesters and the security forces, and according to reports by human rights organizations, about 450 people were killed. Up until last week, Iran did not report the number of people killed in the protests. However, the regime decided to publish the numbers, which they estimate to be around 300, including security forces.
