Iran has hanged a man accused of being on a “mission” for Mossad – Israel’s intelligence agency – during protests across the country, according to news agencies Fars and Tasnim, which are affiliated with the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps.
The man, named Erfan Kiani, was accused of “destruction and arson” and “creating terror” during protests in January 2026, Tasnim reports.
He was hanged earlier today after the Supreme Court confirmed the verdict, both agencies say.
Israel has not immediately commented on this.
Protests began in December and escalated in January after a sharp fall in the value of the Iranian currency and a surge in the cost of living.
The protests were met with a violent crackdown by Iranian authorities, and human rights groups say thousands of people were killed.
