Iranian opposition sources report that the regime hanged Abolfazl Sephi Badjani, 23, and Amirhossein Safari Hosseinabadi, 29, this morning in Isfahan. The executions took place at a square that was a site of earlier protests against the regime.
The Iranian regime executed two young men this morning in Isfahan, according to Iranian opposition sources, who identified the victims as Abolfazl Sephi Badjani, 23, and Amirhossein Safari Hosseinabadi, 29. The executions were carried out at a square that had been a site of earlier protests against the regime, bringing the number of known executions in Isfahan this week to at least seven.
The execution spree began overnight, with reports at 02:33 Jerusalem that two protesters were hanged, and residents shouted 'shameless' at regime forces. At 06:46 Jerusalem, The Zioneer reported that several student protesters were executed, sparking clashes outside a prison in Isfahan. By 17:24 Jerusalem, further details emerged, with the judiciary confirming the hangings and charging the men with 'waging war against God' and 'corruption on earth.' The new identification by opposition sources now provides the full names of two of the men executed this morning.
The executions are part of the regime's intensified crackdown on dissent following the mass protests of January 2026, during which opposition sources estimate 35,000–40,000 people were killed, as The Zioneer reported in July. The regime typically claims that those executed were convicted of violent crimes, but human rights groups have rejected the allegations as fabricated.
The specific charges against Badjani and Hosseinabadi were not immediately available from opposition sources. The full scope of executions in Isfahan this week remains unclear.
