WANA (Oct 19) – The Judiciary Chief of Qom Province announced that the death sentence of a spy convicted of “enmity against God (moharebeh)” and “corruption on earth (efsad fel-arz)” was carried out in Qom Prison following confirmation by the Supreme Court and the rejection of the defendant’s request for clemency.

 

According to the Judiciary, Hojjatoleslam Seyed Kazem Mousavi, Head of the Qom Judiciary, said the convicted spy began his activities and contacts with Israeli intelligence services in October 2023 and was arrested in February 2024.

 

“After comprehensive intelligence investigations, collection of complete evidence, and the individual’s confession to collaborating with and sending information to websites affiliated with the Zionist regime,” Mousavi explained, “he was convicted of espionage and intelligence cooperation with a Mossad officer and of transmitting classified information to the agency.”

 

 

The Qom Judiciary Chief noted that the conviction was issued under Article 6 of the Law on Combating Hostile Actions of the Israeli Regime Against Peace and Security, as well as for collaboration with hostile foreign governments, including the U.S. Department of State. The offender was sentenced to death, and the ruling was later upheld by the Supreme Court.

 

The Head of the Qom Judiciary elaborated on the method of espionage, explaining: “The individual had established contact with Israeli intelligence due to ‘personal and professional motives,’ held meetings with a Mossad officer, and began transmitting classified data online to Israel.”

 

He added that swift and intelligent action by Iran’s intelligence and judicial authorities prevented the leakage of sensitive information.

 

 

After the 12-day war between Iran and Israel, Iranian authorities intensified efforts to identify espionage networks collaborating with Mossad. In the post-war period, several spies have been identified and executed following completion of legal procedures and Supreme Court confirmation.
