Three men convicted of collaborating with Israel's Mossad spy agency and smuggling bombs and demolition charges into Iran to assassinate distinguished Iranian figures have been executed.
According to a statement published by the public relations wing of the judiciary, the executions took place on Wednesday morning in the northwestern Iranian city of Urmia after the supreme court upheld their death sentences after extensive legal proceedings.
The three men have been identified as Idris Aali, Azad Shojaei, and Rasoul Ahmad.
The convicts were hanged on charges of "corruption on earth" (fesad fil arz) and "waging war against God" (moharebeh) through collaboration with hostile foreign agencies at the behest of the Israeli regime.
Judicial records indicate that the individuals contacted a key Mossad agent in a neighboring country and brought devices required for the targeted killings of Iranian dignitaries into the country.
They smuggled the remotely-controlled assassination devices under the guise of a consignment of alcoholic beverages, and accordingly could murder an Iranian personality.
Following the identification and apprehension by Iranian intelligence forces, the trio stood trial in the courts of law to have their case examined and decided. Some of the defendants even had two defense lawyers in court.
After examination of documents provided by judicial officials indicating a connection with a high-profile Mossad operative and collaboration with the Israeli regime's spy service, the defendants were sentenced to death by the Revolutionary Court of Urmia.
The apex court later reviewed the initial rulings and upheld them. Following the conclusion of all legal procedures, the sentences were implemented in accordance with the court's final verdicts.
According to reports, more than 700 spies affiliated with Mossad have been arrested across Iran in recent weeks amid the Israeli aggression against the country.
Iran's security agencies have also dismantled many underground drone facilities in Tehran and other cities operated by Mossad agents in recent weeks.
