Iran has executed multiple individuals accused of espionage, specifically for allegedly collaborating with the CIA and Israeli intelligence agency Mossad. Among those executed is a 29-year-old graduate student and aerospace engineer, Erfan Shakourzadeh, who faced charges of espionage and was reportedly subjected to torture during his imprisonment. These executions are part of a broader crackdown on perceived threats from foreign intelligence services as tensions between Iran and the West escalate. Human rights groups have condemned these actions, highlighting the lack of fair trials and allegations of forced confessions from those accused.
