Shafaq News- Tehran
Iranian authorities on Saturday executed two men convicted
of espionage for Israel’s intelligence service, state-affiliated media reported.
The individuals, identified as Yaqoub Karimpour and Nasser
Bakrzadeh, were executed by hanging.
According to judicial documents cited in the reports,
Karimpour maintained “active cooperation” with Mossad during the “imposed war,”
accusing him of transmitting sensitive information about the country to an
Israeli intelligence officer.
Investigations into Bakrzadeh’s activities indicated that he
carried out movements in “sensitive areas,” while security agencies reportedly
monitored his actions and communications before arresting him on suspicion of
espionage. Documents related to the case stated that Bakrzadeh, acting
on instructions from a Mossad officer, collected and transmitted information on
prominent government, religious, and local figures. He was also accused of
gathering intelligence on sensitive locations, including the Natanz nuclear
facility.
Iran frequently announces arrests and executions of
individuals accused of spying, particularly in cases linked to foreign
intelligence services. On April 20, authorities hanged two men after convicting
them of working with Israel’s Mossad and plotting an attack onkey military
sites in Tehran.
