Overview

• Iran’s judiciary said Bahman Choubi-Asl was executed by hanging after a conviction for collaborating with Israel’s Mossad.
• The official Mizan outlet described him as a high‑value collaborator with privileged access to sensitive telecommunications projects and vital government databases.
• Judicial authorities said the death sentence was reviewed and upheld by higher courts, including the Supreme Court, before it was carried out.
• Rights groups estimate executions in Iran this year exceed 1,000, and UN experts decried what they called an industrial scale of hangings in recent weeks.
• Following the June Iran–Israel conflict, Iran has executed at least eight people for alleged espionage linked to Israel, as the UN reimposed sanctions and the EU adopted similar measures.
