Two young men were executed by hanging in Iran this morning for their participation in the January protests, the source associated with The Zioneer's curated feed reports. Separately, the same post ridiculed Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf's claim that the IRGC commander is a 'friend' and described Iran as 'our new ally,' questioning the validity of any deal signed by the speaker rather than Iran's president or Supreme Leader.
The source in The Zioneer's curated intake reports that two young men were executed by hanging in Iran this Tuesday morning for having participated in last January's protests. The report provides no further detail about their identities or the specific charges beyond the described protest activity. This account is unconfirmed by independent sources at the time of drafting. The same post also ridiculed assertions by Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf — identified by the channel as claiming the IRGC commander is a 'friend' and describing Iran as 'our new ally' — and questioned why the speaker rather than Iran's president or Supreme Leader would sign any deal with the United States. The post's tone suggests deep skepticism within certain Iranian circles regarding the legitimacy and authorship of the emerging US-Iran agreement. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, Iran executed two men — identified by state media as Javad Zamani and Abolfazl Saedi — accused of leading the same January protests, but it is unclear if these are the same individuals.
