Iran's Fars News Agency reported Monday that one of the two citizens executed for spying for Israel, Omid Behzad and Pouriya Sefvat, was dubbed 'Netanyahu's soldier' and had provided intelligence to the Iran International website. The report adds details to the earlier announcement from Iran's judiciary.
New details from Iran's Fars News Agency, reported Monday morning, add that one of the two citizens executed for spying for Israel was referred to as 'Netanyahu's soldier' and had allegedly provided intelligence to the Iran International website, a London-based Persian-language outlet.
The development follows earlier reports Monday from Fars and Iran's judiciary outlet Mizan. At 08:22 Jerusalem, Fars first reported the executions without naming the individuals. Shortly after, Mizan identified them 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), according to the judiciary statement. The latest Fars report adds the 'Netanyahu's soldier' moniker and the alleged link to Iran International.
The executions are part of Tehran's ongoing crackdown on alleged espionage networks, which have intensified since the recent conflict. As The Zioneer reported, Iran has also executed ISIS-linked operatives and others accused of espionage in recent months, reflecting a broader security campaign.
The specific timeframe of the alleged intelligence activities and the full scope of the espionage remain unclear. It is also not specified which of the two executed individuals was dubbed 'Netanyahu's soldier'.
