Iran: Execution of a Man Convicted of Providing Information about Missile Sites to Israel

The Iranian authorities executed an Iranian citizen by hanging who was convicted of leaking sensitive intelligence information to the Israeli intelligence agency "Mossad," according to the judiciary on Saturday.

The Iranian judiciary stated that "the death sentence was carried out against Hussein Badran for providing Mossad with confidential information about missile sites belonging to the Revolutionary Guard in Isfahan province" in the center of the country, without providing additional details about the date of his arrest or trial.

This is the latest operation in a series of executions carried out by Iranian authorities in security-related cases during the war that broke out on February 28 with a series of American-Israeli airstrikes.

Iran ranks second in the world after China in terms of the number of executed death sentences, according to human rights organizations including "Amnesty International."
