Iran says it executed the man who was convicted of being Top Israel Spy

Iran executed a man convicted of spying for Israel and accused of playing a key role in the murder of an officer of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, state -owned Mizan reported. Mohsen Langarneshin has been accused of working with Israel’s Intelligence Service Mossad for more than two years after being recruited and trained in 2020, Mizan said, adding that Langarneshin was executed early Wednesday morning. The announcement comes weeks after Iran and the US began indirect discussions on the Nuclear program of the Islamic Republic, and as Israel continues with the bombing of Gaza in his war against Hamas supported by Tehran, named by the US and many of its allies as a terrorist organization. According to Mizan, Langarneshin was present when IRGC Colonel Hassyad Khodaei, a senior officer who was very involved in Iran’s Syria operations, was shot dead outside his home in Tehran in 2022. Mizan did not say when Langarneshin was arrested. He was also accused of meeting Mossad officials in Georgia and Nepal and transferring money to other “operative” in Iran. “He bought and delivered unregistered SIM cards, cell phones and portable internet modes to facilitate communication between domestic spies and senior Mossad officials,” said Mizan, who is the official news portal of the Iranian judiciary. Langarneshin’s case was not disclosed until his execution was announced on Wednesday morning and Mizan gave no details about his legal representation, and just added that his sentence was carried out “after the full lawsuit and the final approval of the ruling by the Supreme Court.” © 2025 Bloomberg MP This article was generated from an automatic news agency feed without edits to text.
