Iran’s judiciary announced on Saturday the execution of two individuals accused of spying for Israeli intelligence, the Mossad, during the recent US-Israeli aggression on the country.

According to Iranian authorities, the two were involved in passing “important, sensitive and influential information” to Iran's rivals. The announcement comes amid a wider security campaign in Iran targeting individuals suspected of links to foreign intelligence services.

The Iranian Ministry of Intelligence recently said it had arrested a four-member cell allegedly connected to the Mossad in Kerman. Authorities also reported foiling related plots in the provinces of Kurdistan and Kermanshah.

Iranian security agencies say they have intensified operations against spy networks backed by the Mossad and the United States, particularly in the aftermath of the recent military campaign. 

Iranian security campaign expands 

Last month, Iran's judiciary announced on April 20 the execution of two individuals convicted of spying for Israeli intelligence. Authorities said the pair were arrested while attempting to carry out an operation targeting service and military sites in Tehran.

They were found in possession of projectiles and were also implicated in the manufacturing of explosive weapons, as well as collaborating with the Mossad.

The executions were reportedly carried out at dawn, with officials confirming the two were part of a spy network directly linked to the Israeli spy agency.

Earlier the same month, Iran executed two individuals convicted of armed violence during the January riots, following convictions for attempting to storm military facilities.

Two members of the Mujahedin-e Khalq Organization (MKO) were also executed after being convicted of terrorist activities in Tehran, with case files showing the pair were recruited via Telegram and directed to carry out operations targeting law enforcement.
