Four Executed in Iran for Ties to Mossad
The Iranian judicial authorities have announced that four individuals convicted of participating in organized crimes linked to Israel's Mossad intelligence agency were executed early Sunday morning, IRNA reports.
The four convicted individuals are Hossein Ordoukhanadze, Shahin Imami Mahmoudabadi, Miald Ashrafi Atbatani, and Manouchehr Shahbandi Bejandi. They were arrested in June by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). Later, a court sentenced them to death for collaborating with the Zionist regime and for kidnapping people.
According to a prior statement from the IRGC, the group received instructions from Mossad officials on using firearms for kidnapping in exchange for receiving cryptocurrency.
