Iran has executed two Iranian nationals convicted of spying for ‘Israel’, according to Reuters, citing the state-owned Fars news agency.
The two men were accused of providing sensitive military and security location coordinates to ‘Israel’ during the Iran war. Iranian authorities said they were convicted on espionage-related charges before their executions.
The report comes as Iran continues to pursue individuals accused of collaborating with foreign intelligence services amid heightened regional tensions.
Separately, rights group Amnesty International said at least 26 people linked to the January 2026 protests had been executed by July. The organization said Iranian authorities relied on broadly defined national security charges, including espionage and collaboration with hostile states, in many of the cases.
Iran has not publicly responded to Amnesty International's assessment.
