Iranian authorities executed a man, Esmail Fekri, convicted of spying for Israel. According to reports from the state news agency Mizan, Fekri was a Mossad agent and was convicted of serious crimes including corruption and waging war against God under Islamic law. The execution followed a judicial process and is the third such execution related to espionage charges in recent months. Iran and Israel remain in tense relations, especially after Israel launched airstrikes on Iranian nuclear targets.
