Iran hangs 3 ‘Israeli spies’, arrests 700 others day after US-brokered ceasefire

Iran has executed three men accused of spying for Israel’s spy agency Mossad, the judiciary’s Mizan news agency reported.

The developments come a day after both Israel and Iran agreed to a ceasefire proposal brokered by the US, following 12 days of fierce conflict.

The three men, who were hanged, were convicted of collaborating with Israel’s Mossad and also smuggling equipment used in an assassination of an unnamed personality, Mizan reported, without sharing further details.

Additionally, as many as 700 people have been arrested for ties with Israel, the state-affiliated Nournews reported.
