On Wednesday, Iran executed two men, one accused of spying for the Israeli intelligence service Mossad and another linked to Daesh, according to reports from state media. The espionage case involved **Rouzbeh Vadi**, who was accused of relaying classified information regarding an Iranian nuclear scientist killed in recent Israeli air attacks, which targeted Iran's military and nuclear capabilities. The Iranian judiciary, through the news agency Mizan, stated that Vadi had met with Mossad agents **five times in Vienna** and had provided significant intelligence, escalating concerns about internal security in Iran, according to TRT World and Newsweek.
The execution of Vadi reflects a broader pattern of Iran's response to perceived threats from Israel, particularly following a **12-day conflict** that resulted in heavy casualties and significant damage to Iranian military targets. Reports indicate that after the conflict, Iran has accelerated its judicial processes for individuals suspected of collaborating with Israel, with a significant number of death sentences carried out in the past months. Amir Hatami, Iran’s military commander, emphasized that threats from Israel are ongoing, highlighting a **new level of alert** within Iranian forces, as mentioned by Al Jazeera and TRT World.
In a separate case on the same day, Iran executed **Mehdi Aghazadeh**, identified as a Daesh member, who had been convicted of involvement in sabotage activities. Officials claimed that he had participated in military training in Syria and Iraq before entering Iran illegally. Iranian authorities stated that both executions were conducted following due judicial process, underscoring their approach to security amid rising tensions with both Israel and extremist groups, according to Newsweek and Al Jazeera.
