Overview

• The judiciary’s Mizan news agency identified Shahbazi as the executed man and alleged he sold sensitive information about data centers and security installations to Israeli handlers.
• State media said he leveraged work installing cooling devices to collect details from server rooms and sites tied to Iran’s military and security apparatus.
• His lawyer sought Supreme Court review, which was rejected, and rights groups said the death sentence was confirmed unusually quickly.
• Activists assert he was detained after writing to Volodymyr Zelenskyy offering help and that his confession was extracted under torture.
• Officials linked him to Esmaeil Fekri, who was executed in June for spying for Israel, a connection cited as executions in similar cases have increased.
