According to a report by The Times Of Israel on April 22, 2026, Iran has executed a man convicted of spying for Israel’s intelligence service and transferring sensitive information, according to the judiciary’s news outlet Mizan. The report states that the individual, identified as Mehdi Farid, was found guilty after a legal process that concluded with the approval of the Supreme Court.
Mizan reports that Farid had worked in a civil defense unit within a sensitive government-linked organization. Authorities claimed he used his position and access to classified material to gather and pass on important information to Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency. The case was treated as a serious breach of national security due to the nature of the materials allegedly shared.
Following his conviction, the death sentence was reviewed and upheld by Iran’s Supreme Court after the appeals process was completed. Officials said all judicial procedures were properly followed before the punishment was carried out. The judiciary emphasized that the ruling reflected the severity of espionage charges under Iranian law.
Mizan further noted that the execution was implemented only after the conclusion of all legal steps required by the court system. Iranian authorities maintained that the case involved the illegal transfer of sensitive information to a foreign intelligence service operating against the country’s interests. The announcement was made through official judiciary channels, confirming that the sentence had been enforced in accordance with national legal standards.
