Iran has executed Ali Ardestani, who was accused of spying for Israel’s intelligence agency. According to Mizan, Iran’s judiciary news outlet, Ardestani was convicted of sharing sensitive national information with Israel. His death sentence, approved by Iran’s Supreme Court, was carried out following what authorities described as due legal process.

Tensions between Iran and Israel have long included covert operations, and Iran has previously executed individuals accused of spying for Israel. Reports suggest such executions have risen this year, particularly after a June incident in which Israeli and U.S. forces reportedly targeted Iranian nuclear sites.
