TEHRAN — Iran executed three men on Sunday after they were convicted of carrying out operations for Israel and the U.S. and taking part in armed unrest during January’s protests, state media reported, The Times of Israel said.
The case
The judiciary named the men as Hassan Dioband, Hamid Kazemi and Reza Zanganeh and accused them of using firearms, grenades and Molotov cocktails, setting fire to public facilities and damaging a substation in Karaj.
The Supreme Court upheld the death sentences. Ten other defendants received prison terms of five to 10 years. These are the judiciary’s allegations.
What to watch
Assessment: The pace of protest-related executions remains a key indicator of Tehran’s domestic crackdown.
