According to state media reports, Iran has executed a man who was accused of spying on Israel.
According to the Iranian judiciary’s Mizan news outlet, Rouzbeh Vadi allegedly shared information about a nuclear scientist who was killed during Israel’s June attacks on the Islamic Republic.
According to Mizan, he was executed on Wednesday and had previously worked for one of Iran’s “important and sensitive organizations.”
At least eight Iranians who have been found guilty of spying for Israel have received at least eight death sentences in recent months.
Israel launched 12 airstrikes in June, some of which targeted Iran’s top generals and nuclear scientists, and Iran responded with a barrage of missiles and drones in response. Since the start of the war, Iran has promised to bring swift trials for those detained for alleged collaboration with Israel.
According to Mizan, Vadi committed “a number of crimes against the country’s internal and external security, which have severely harmed public order.”
Vadi allegedly met Mossad, an Israeli intelligence service officer, five times online and in Vienna, Austria.
According to another report, Iran hanged an ISIL (ISIS) member on Wednesday after he was charged with plotting sabotage.
Mehdi Asgharzadeh was allegedly a member of the group that organized military training in Syria and Iraq before entering Iran without authorization with a team of four members who were killed in a confrontation with Iranian security, according to the news site.
