Iran has carried out a string of wartime executions during its conflict with Israel and the United States, which is currently paused under a ceasefire.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, Iran executed a man<\/a> accused of carrying out a \u201cmission\u201d on behalf of Israel\u2019s spy agency during mass protests in January, the judiciary said.<\/p>\n

Iran is the world\u2019s second most prolific user of the death penalty after China, according to rights groups including Amnesty International.<\/p>\n

Sistan-Baluchestan province, which borders Pakistan and Afghanistan, has long been a flashpoint for clashes between Iranian security forces and armed groups, including drug traffickers and separatists.<\/p>\n
