Iran Executes Three Alleged Mossad Agents Following Truce

Iran Carries Out Executions of Alleged Spies

Iran has announced the execution of three individuals accused of espionage for Israel, occurring just a day after a ceasefire was established between the two nations. The executions took place in Urmia, Iran, as confirmed by the judiciary's public relations office. The executions were conducted on Wednesday morning, following the Iranian Supreme Court's affirmation of their death sentences, which were claimed to have followed 'extensive legal proceedings.' The condemned men have been named as Idris Aali, Azad Shojaei, and Rasoul Ahmad.

Details of the Charges Against the Convicts Iran's Perspective

The three men were found guilty of collaborating with the Mossad, Israel's intelligence agency, and were accused of smuggling explosives into Iran with the intent to assassinate prominent Iranian figures. They faced severe charges, including 'corruption on earth' (fesad fil arz) and 'waging war against God' (moharebeh), due to their alleged cooperation with foreign adversaries at the behest of Israel.

Reports from state-run Press TV indicate that the accused had contacted a significant Mossad operative in a neighboring nation and imported devices necessary for targeted killings of Iranian officials. They reportedly concealed these assassination tools within a shipment of alcoholic beverages, facilitating their entry into the country.

The judicial process for the trio was conducted in the Revolutionary Court of Urmia, where they were represented by multiple defense attorneys. After sufficient evidence was presented, the court determined their guilt in collaborating with the Israeli intelligence service, leading to their death sentences. The Supreme Court later reviewed and upheld these initial rulings, resulting in the execution of the sentences.

Recent Arrests Linked to Mossad Activities

In a related development, Iranian authorities have detained approximately 700 individuals suspected of having connections to Israel in recent weeks, amid escalating tensions. Security forces have also reportedly dismantled several clandestine drone operations in Tehran and other cities, allegedly run by Mossad agents.

The longstanding conflict between Iran and Israel has intensified, with Iran executing several individuals accused of facilitating Mossad's operations within its borders. A recent truce was established following U.S. military actions against Iranian nuclear sites, but both nations have since accused each other of violating the agreement, leading to heightened tensions.
