Iran Executes Two Men Convicted Of Spying For Israel by Dapagun(op): 5:16am On Aug 05

Iran has executed two men convicted of allegedly spying for Israel, as authorities continue a sweeping crackdown on suspected espionage linked to the country’s conflict with Israel.

The executions, carried out on Monday morning, were confirmed by Iran’s judiciary through its official media outlet, Mizan. The men, identified as Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat, were found guilty of espionage and collaborating with Israel’s intelligence agency, Mossad.

According to the judiciary, the pair were accused of transmitting the locations of sensitive military and security installations to Israeli intelligence operatives.

Mizan reported that the men were hanged after being convicted of “espionage and collaboration with the Zionist regime.”

The judiciary alleged that Behzad and Safvat provided intelligence that enabled Israeli security agencies to identify key military and security centres during the ongoing conflict.

“They helped the intelligence services achieve their objectives by providing them with information on military and security centres during the war,” the judiciary stated.

However, Iranian authorities did not reveal when the two men were arrested, the duration of their detention, or when their trials were conducted.

Crackdown on Alleged Espionage
The executions are the latest in a series of death sentences carried out by Tehran since the outbreak of its conflict with Israel and the United States in February.

Iran has significantly intensified its campaign against individuals accused of collaborating with Israel, with authorities claiming they are targeting espionage networks operating within the country.

Officials have repeatedly vowed to take firm action against anyone suspected of passing classified military or security information to foreign intelligence agencies.

Rising Number of Executions
Iran continues to rank among the countries with the highest number of executions globally, second only to China, according to international human rights organisations.

Figures released by Iran Human Rights, a Norway-based non-governmental organisation, in collaboration with Together Against the Death Penalty, a Paris-based advocacy group, indicate that Iranian authorities executed at least 1,639 people in 2025.

The organisations described the figure as the highest annual execution tally recorded in Iran since 1989.

Human Rights Groups Raise Concerns
International human rights organisations have repeatedly criticised Iran’s use of capital punishment, particularly in cases involving national security allegations and espionage charges.

Rights advocates argue that many defendants accused of spying or threatening national security do not receive fair and transparent trials.

Recently, Amnesty International condemned what it described as an increase in executions after Iranian authorities announced the hanging of two men convicted over their alleged involvement in anti-government protests.

The organisation has continued to urge the Iranian government to suspend executions and ensure that all defendants are granted fair judicial proceedings that meet international legal standards.

Life imprisonment was an alternative, but no, they love to kill. In the most horrific way possible. Poets, musicians, protesters, none is spared. At least 1639 executions.

How about releasing videos of the trials? Even Mexican cartel bosses with thousands of bodies to their names are in prison in the US.

All pro-IRGC Nigerians should please relocate to Iran. As I understand it’s visa on arrival for Nigerians.

You people will just be talking rubbish! If the law of the country says such offence is punishable by death it is the law. In Nigeria if you are guilty of coup plot is it not death sentence? Every nation have their laws
To show your level of ignorance I bet you are not aware that America has the death sentence, come to Texas.

They are just witchhunting their people. Israel has gathered enough information that will last over 20 years. If he sure for the Mullahs, they should launch an attack on Israel. Netanyahu has been waiting for the opportunity for long. Israel is ever ready to clean up the American mess. Give them only 24 hours, Iran will fall to its knees. Many layers of air defences had been installed. Over 300 jets have been loaded and ready to launch mother of all attacks on Iran. That's why Iran has been avoiding Israel like a plague.

This are the risks a spy pose to a Country.

National security breaches: Stealing military plans, weapons information, or intelligence can weaken a country's defense.

Loss of classified information: Government secrets, diplomatic strategies, or intelligence sources may be exposed.

Economic damage: Spies may steal trade secrets, technology, or research, hurting businesses and the economy.

Cybersecurity threats: They may help launch or support cyberattacks against government systems or critical infrastructure.

Political instability: Spies can spread disinformation, interfere in elections, or create distrust among citizens.

Threats to lives: Intelligence officers, military personnel, informants, or undercover agents may be identified and put in danger.

Diplomatic tensions: If espionage is uncovered, it can damage relationships between countries, leading to sanctions, expulsions of diplomats, or other conflicts.

Espionage has been practiced by countries for centuries, but when successful, it can significantly affect a nation's security, economy, and international standing.

Section 49A of the Criminal Code Act in Nigeria defines and penalizes the offense of treachery. It states that helping or trying to help an enemy during a war to hurt national military operations is a felony carrying the death penalty.
