DUBAI, May 11 (Reuters) – Iran executed a man convicted of spying for the U.S. and Israeli intelligence services, the judiciary’s Mizan news outlet reported on Monday.
Mizan identified the man as Erfan Shakourzadeh, saying he had worked at a scientific organisation involved in satellite activities and had shared classified scientific information with foreign intelligence services.
According to rights group Iran Human Rights Society, Shakourzadeh, a 29-year-old graduate of aerospace engineering, was arrested in 2025 and was forced into his confession.
