Iran has executed three men accused of working for Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad and inciting violence during anti-government protests in Mashhad. The executions were carried out following allegations that the men were involved in violent acts during demonstrations in the northeastern city earlier this year. The semi-official Fars News Agency identified the executed individuals as Mehdi Rasouli, Mohammadreza Miri, and Ebrahim Doulatabadi.

According to the report, Rasouli and Miri were described as linked to Mossad and accused of participating in the killing of security officer Hamidreza Yousefnejad. They were also charged with destroying public property, looting, using Molotov cocktails, and committing crimes against national security. Doulatabadi was accused of leading riots in Mashhad’s Tabarsi area and organizing 250 to 300 armed rioters.

Authorities claimed that several security personnel were killed in the clashes, and Doulatabadi was held responsible for damage to a bank, a Basij military base, and other public and private properties.
