Iran confirmed the execution of a man convicted of spying for the CIA and Mossad. The execution followed a court ruling after the individual confessed to passing classified information to foreign intelligence agencies.
Iran confirmed on Tuesday that it had executed a man convicted of spying for the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) and Israel's Mossad intelligence service.
The execution was carried out following a court ruling after the individual was found guilty of passing classified information to foreign intelligence agencies.
Iranian state media reported that the defendant confessed to espionage and was sentenced to death. The precise time and location of the execution have not been disclosed.
This is not the first time Iran has announced the arrest and execution of suspected spies working for Western and Israeli intelligence agencies. In recent years, Tehran has repeatedly accused Washington and Tel Aviv of conducting espionage operations aimed at its nuclear and military programs.
The United States and Israel have not yet issued an official comment on the incident.
