Overview
- Iranian state judiciary reported that Mojtaba Kian was executed by hanging on Sunday after the Supreme Court confirmed his death sentence and ordered confiscation of his assets.
- Officials say Kian confessed to sending maps, coordinates and production details about defence-industry sites to an opposition satellite contact and that one site was destroyed three days after the information was sent.
- Authorities say the case, from arrest to execution, took under 50 days under orders from judiciary chief Golamhosein Mohseni Ejei to speed trials of suspected collaborators with Israel and the United States.
- State security organs report a wider surge of prosecutions during the war, with police saying about 6,500 people detained and the judiciary reporting roughly 30 executions of alleged spies and opponents.
- All central facts in the reporting come from official Iranian sources and the claims about operational links and attacks have not been independently verified, raising questions about due process and the wider human impact on detainees and their families.
