Iran announced the execution of Mohammad Amini Dehghani, who was convicted of setting fire to government offices during the January protests against the regime, according to N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig.

The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday that Iran executed a man who set fire to government offices during the January protests, citing Reuters. The current report, from N12 journalist Asaf Rozentzweig, identifies the executed individual as Mohammad Amini Dehghani. The announcement by Iranian authorities adds a name to an execution that was first reported anonymously.
This execution is part of a broader crackdown on dissent following the January protests. The Zioneer has documented a wave of executions, including the deaths of Javad Zamani, Abolfazl Sa'edi, Ali Mahloji, and others, as well as reports of over 100 executions in the past month. The regime continues to sentence and execute participants in the demonstrations amid international criticism.
