Iranian state media reported Monday that the authorities executed two Iranian nationals convicted of providing Israel with sensitive military information and coordinates during the wars with Israel. Tehran claims one of the men passed coordinates through the source allegedly linked to the Mossad, while the other provided information to Israeli intelligence and the opposition outlet Iran International.
Iranian state media this morning published detailed accounts of the methods used by the two executed citizens, identified as Omid Behzad and Pouriya Sefvat, to transfer intelligence to Israel. According to the reports, one of the men passed coordinates of sensitive military sites through a source allegedly linked to the Mossad, while the other provided information to Israeli intelligence and the opposition outlet Iran International. The new details add specificity to earlier announcements from the Iranian judiciary and Fars News Agency, which had named the individuals and described their alleged activities during Operations Rising Lion (2025) and Roaring Lion (2026).
The Zioneer first reported the executions at 08:22 Jerusalem, initially without the identities of the two men. Within the same hour, the judiciary outlet Mizan identified them as Omid Behzad and Pouriya Sefvat, accusing them of transferring coordinates and intelligence to Mossad officers during the two operations. Shortly after, Fars News Agency reported that the second individual had been dubbed 'Netanyahu's soldier' and allegedly provided intelligence to Iran International. The latest update from state media, published by The Zioneer at 09:28 Jerusalem, provides the specific transfer methods now cited.
These executions come amid a broader Iranian crackdown on espionage and dissent. As The Zioneer reported on July 8, over 100 executions have been carried out in Iran in the past month. Separately, the Mossad revealed on July 27 an Iranian plot to infiltrate assassination cells into Israel using foreign nationals. The regime has consistently accused Israel and the United States of conducting intelligence operations against it, including during the ongoing military confrontation.
The evidence released by Iranian authorities includes footage and purported messages. The Zioneer has not independently verified the claims of espionage or the methods of intelligence transfer described by state media.
