Iran Executes Man Convicted of Spying for US, Israel

Iran has hanged Erfan Shakourzadeh, a man convicted of espionage for the United States and Israel, according to the country's judiciary. The execution comes amid heightened tensions with Washington and Tel Aviv and a broader increase in death sentences since the start of hostilities in February.

Iran executed Erfan Shakourzadeh on charges of spying for the United States and Israel, the judiciary's Mizan Online reported Monday. He was accused of passing classified information to the CIA and Mossad while working at a scientific organization involved in Iran's satellite program.
