Iran on Monday executed two men after they were convicted of spying for Israel, according to the country's judiciary. The executions are the latest in a series of hangings linked to alleged espionage since the conflict involving Iran, Israel, and the United States began earlier this year.
Iran's judiciary media outlet, Mizan, identified the men as Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat. Authorities said they were found guilty of passing the locations of sensitive military and security facilities to agents of Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad.
Officials stated that the pair were convicted of espionage and collaborating with what Iran refers to as the "Zionist regime." They were accused of supplying intelligence that allegedly assisted Israeli operations during the war.
The judiciary did not disclose when the suspects were arrested or when their trial took place.
Iran has significantly increased executions of individuals accused of espionage since the conflict began in February. Human rights organizations continue to criticize the country's use of the death penalty.
According to rights groups, including Amnesty International, Iran remains one of the world's leading executioners. Data released by Iran Human Rights and Together Against the Death Penalty (ECPM) indicated that at least 1,639 people were executed in Iran last year, marking the highest annual total since 1989.
Last week, Amnesty International also condemned what it described as an escalation in executions after Iran hanged two other men convicted over their involvement in anti-government protests.
