Sweden Says Citizen Executed in Iran as Judiciary Reports Execution for Mossad Spying

Stockholm condemns due‑process failures, calling the death penalty inhumane.

Overview

  • Foreign Minister Maria Malmer Stenergard said a Swedish citizen was executed on Wednesday and that Sweden had raised the case repeatedly since the person’s arrest in June 2025.
  • Iran’s judiciary reported the execution of a man identified as Kurosh Keyvani after a Supreme Court–upheld conviction for spying for Israel.
  • State media alleged the convict was recruited in Sweden in 2023 and provided photos and information on sensitive Iranian sites to Mossad.
  • Iran did not disclose the executed man’s nationality, leaving it unclear whether he is the same person Sweden described.
  • Human-rights concerns have intensified as Iran has executed several people accused of Mossad links since last year’s 12‑day war.
