Iran executes man convicted of spying for Israel

Iran says it has executed a man convicted of spying for the Israeli intelligence agency, known as Mossad.

Officials say Esmail Fekri, who was arrested in 2023, tried to pass on classified information in exchange for money. It is believed to be the third such execution in recent times.

Several other suspected Israeli spies have been arrested in Iran since Friday, according to Iranian state media.

The country's chief justice, Gholamhossein Mohseni Ejei, says that given the current conflict, trials of suspected Israeli collaborators should proceed quickly.

Meanwhile, two Israelis were arrested on Sunday on suspicion of spying for Iranian intelligence. Authorities also arrested a 13-year-old boy last week in Tel Aviv on similar charges. (A2 Televizion)
