Iran has executed a man accused of carrying out operations on behalf of Israel’s intelligence agency during recent unrest, according to the judiciary.

The judiciary’s Mizan Online website said Erfan Kiani was hanged on Saturday after his death sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court.

Authorities described Kiani as a “main operative” in a mission allegedly assigned by Mossad during protests in Isfahan province earlier in the year.

He was accused of multiple offences, including arson, destruction of public and private property, possession and use of Molotov cocktails, attacking security personnel, blocking roads, and creating public fear.

The execution comes days after another individual was put to death for alleged membership in the banned opposition group People’s Mujahedin of Iran.

Iranian authorities say the January protests were instigated by foreign actors, including Israel and the United States, alongside opposition networks.

The latest execution is part of a broader escalation since hostilities between Iran, Israel and the United States intensified on February 28. Since March 19, at least nine people have been executed in connection with the unrest, according to official reports.

Rights groups, including Amnesty International, have long criticised Iran’s use of capital punishment, ranking it among the world’s most frequent practitioners of the death penalty.
