Iran has carried out the execution of Pedram Madani, who was accused of spying for Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency. The announcement was made on Wednesday by a judiciary-affiliated news outlet.
Madani, who was arrested in 2020, was accused of attempting to share classified information about strategic locations in Iran with Israeli agents. Authorities also alleged that he had illegally obtained financial benefits through his espionage activities.
This execution is part of a broader pattern in Iran’s ongoing covert conflict with Israel, which has lasted for decades. Iran has previously executed multiple individuals on similar charges, often accusing them of participating in sabotage operations or providing intelligence that threatens national security, especially in relation to Iran’s nuclear program.
The case of Pedram Madani comes just weeks after the execution of Mohsen Langarneshin, another Iranian citizen convicted of espionage and working with Mossad. These actions underscore Iran’s firm stance against individuals it accuses of collaborating with foreign intelligence services.
