Iranian authorities have executed a man accused of espionage for Israel’s intelligence services, according to reports from state media over the weekend.

The individual, identified as Aghil Keshavarz, faced execution on Saturday, as detailed by the media outlets.

At 27 years old, Keshavarz was said to have engaged in “close intelligence cooperation” with the Mossad, Israel’s national intelligence agency. He allegedly took photographs of sensitive Iranian military and security sites, according to the reports.

Aghil Keshavarz, 27, was executed following his conviction for spying on behalf of Israel’s Mossad.

His arrest occurred in May when he was reportedly photographing a military base in Urmia, a city approximately 371 miles northwest of Tehran, Iran’s capital.

He was accused of engaging in more than 200 similar assignments for the Mossad in various Iranian cities, including Tehran.

Keshavarz was tried and sentenced to death in connection with the spying accusations. The country’s Supreme Court later upheld the sentence, according to state media.

Iran has executed 11 people for espionage since a 12-day air conflict in June that was kicked off by Israel, killing roughly 1,100 people in Iran, including military commanders and nuclear scientists. Iran countered with a missile barrage that killed 28 people in the Jewish State.

In October, Iran executed an unknown person convicted of spying for Israel’s intelligence agency in the city of Qom.

Various others have been executed in Iran in recent years before the June conflict on allegations of spying for the Mossad, including multiple earlier this year.

Iran routinely conducts closed-door trials of people accused of espionage, with the suspects often unable to access the evidence prosecutors used against them in their case.
