Iran hangs 3 men accused of spying for “Israel”

Iran said Wednesday that it executed three men accused of spying for “Israel”, the day after a truce between the two came into effect.

"Idris Ali, Azad Shojai and Rasoul Ahmad Rasoul, who attempted to import equipment into the country to carry out assassinations, were arrested and tried for... cooperation favouring the Zionist regime," the judiciary said, referring to Israel.

"The sentence was carried out this morning... and they were hanged."
