Iran Executes Bahman Choobiasl, Alleged Mossad Operative

Rights groups say it reflects a record execution surge following the June IranIsrael fighting.

Overview

  • Iran’s judiciary outlet Mizan said Choobiasl worked on sensitive telecommunications projects and sought to help Mossad breach data centers and obtain government databases.
  • Mizan reported that the Supreme Court rejected his appeal and upheld a death sentence on the charge of “corruption on earth.”
  • Today’s hanging is about the 10th espionage-related execution since the June conflict, according to state announcements and news reports.
  • The move comes after the United Nations reimposed sanctions over the weekend and the European Union announced similar measures on Monday.
  • Independent monitors say Iran has executed over 1,000 people in 2025, and UN experts condemned the recent pace of hangings as a grave violation of the right to life.
