Iran executed two men on August 3rd, according to reports from the Mizan News Agency, which is affiliated with the Iranian judiciary. The two individuals, identified as Omid Behzad and Puria Safvat, were accused of engaging in espionage activities purportedly on behalf of Israel. The report indicated that the executions were part of an ongoing series of judicial actions within the Islamic Republic, often citing national security concerns as grounds for the proceedings.
The Mizan News Agency asserted that the two men had provided “considerable assistance” to the Israeli intelligence service, Mossad. This alleged assistance was claimed to have aided Mossad in achieving objectives during a conflict designated by Iran as the 12-Day War in 2025. These reported actions add to a pattern of high-profile detentions and executions in Iran, which critics have noted has increased since the escalation of tensions involving the United States and Israel.
The official statements from Iranian state media continue to frame these cases as necessary measures against foreign intelligence threats targeting national security interests. The details provided by the agency specifically name the two executed men and attribute their alleged crimes to collaboration with Israel.
