Iran Executes Man Convicted of Spying for Israel After Supreme Court Ruling

State judicial media cast the case as part of a post‑June campaign against alleged Mossad networks, with reports diverging on how many suspects have been put to death.

Overview

  • Iranian outlets identified the executed man as Aghil Keshavarz, 27, described by AP as an architecture student.
  • Authorities said he was detained in May in Urmia while photographing a military garrison and accused of working closely with Mossad.
  • The judiciary’s Mizan agency reported a confession and cited phone messages, including a contact named “Osher,” as well as documents seized in a search.
  • Officials alleged he conducted more than 200 photographic missions targeting military and security sites in multiple cities, including Tehran.
  • The execution is part of a broader post‑June crackdown on alleged Israeli spies, with AP counting 11 executions and Iranian judicial reports citing 16.
