The Iranian government on Wednesday announced it had executed a man accused of passing sensitive information to Israeli intelligence, Mossad, during the June conflict between the two countries.<\/h2>\n
According to the Iranian judiciary\u2019s official media outlet, Mizan Online, the man, identified as Roozbeh Vadi, was executed by hanging after the country\u2019s Supreme Court upheld his conviction.<\/p>\n
\u201cRoozbeh Vadi\u2026 was executed following judicial proceedings and confirmation of his sentence by the Supreme Court,\u201d<\/em> the report stated, alleging that he had leaked information about \u201ca nuclear scientist who was assassinated during the Zionist regime\u2019s recent aggression.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n Naija News<\/strong> reports that details about Vadi\u2019s arrest and sentencing were not disclosed.<\/p>\n Mizan claimed that Vadi had been recruited online by Israel\u2019s spy agency, Mossad, and later transferred \u201cclassified information\u201d concerning Iranian nuclear personnel.<\/p>\n The execution follows heightened tensions between Iran and Israel in June, during which Israel<\/strong> reportedly launched an unprecedented 12-day bombing campaign on Iranian territory.<\/p>\n The Israeli strikes targeted both military facilities and civilian areas, killing hundreds, including senior military officers and at least a dozen nuclear scientists, according to Iranian media reports.<\/p>\n Iran retaliated with missile and drone strikes, escalating the conflict in what observers called one of the most dangerous flare-ups between the two nations in recent years.<\/p>\n Following the conflict, Iranian authorities pledged speedy trials for individuals accused of collaborating with Israel.
