Overview
- State and judiciary outlets said Tuesday that Mohieddin Abdollahi and Hossein Palani were hanged after Iran’s Supreme Court upheld their death sentences.
- Authorities say security forces found the cell’s hideout in the Bamo mountain area near the Iraq border, seized weapons and arrested suspects during the operation.
- Officials reported that several militants were killed in the raid and that three members of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps died in related clashes.
- The judiciary did not disclose where the executions took place and provided few procedural details, raising questions from rights groups about transparency.
- Rights organizations note Iran already carries out a high number of executions and say the recent hangings fit a wider pattern of stepped‑up capital punishment since the regional conflict escalated.
