Iran Executes Alleged Israel Spies

The executions took place amid heightened regional tensions and were condemned by opposition groups who rejected the espionage claims.

Iranian authorities alleged the pair were part of a spy network linked to Israel that aimed to sabotage domestic security.

The move follows a series of tit-for-tat strikes between Iran and a US-Israeli coalition that began in late February.

International human rights organizations have criticized the use of capital punishment and the lack of transparency in the judicial process.
