Iran executed Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat on Monday after accusing them of supplying Israel with coordinates, photographs, and intelligence on military and air-defense sites during the war, according to a report by Jewish Breaking News. Tehran released alleged confessions and messages but provided no independently verified evidence, as its execution campaign intensifies.
The Zioneer reported earlier Monday that Iranian state media announced the execution of two nationals convicted of spying for Israel. Additional details now emerge from a report by Jewish Breaking News, which identifies the men as Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat. Tehran accused them of providing Israel with coordinates, photographs, and intelligence on military and air-defense sites during the war. The regime released alleged confessions and messages but did not provide independently verified evidence, according to the report.
The story has unfolded rapidly this morning. At 08:22 Jerusalem, Iran's Fars News Agency first reported the executions without naming the individuals. Minutes later, the judiciary outlet Mizan identified the executed as Omid Behzad and Pouriya Sefvat, accusing them of transferring coordinates of sensitive military sites to Mossad officers during Operations Rising Lion (2025) and Roaring Lion (2026). Subsequent reports from Fars and state media added that one of the men was dubbed 'Netanyahu's soldier' and allegedly provided intelligence to the opposition outlet Iran International, while the other passed coordinates through a source allegedly linked to the Mossad. The Jewish Breaking News report, published later Monday, reaffirmed the identities and provided additional details on the accusations.
The executions come amid an intensifying Iranian execution campaign that has seen multiple hangings in recent months for offenses ranging from espionage to protest participation. As The Zioneer has reported, Iran executed two men accused of leading January protests in June, and the regime has faced international criticism for its use of the death penalty against those accused of cooperating with Israel, particularly during wartime.
No independent verification of the espionage allegations has been made available. The confessions and messages released by the regime have not been authenticated by outside sources. The Zioneer will continue to monitor developments.
