The news agency Mizan, affiliated with the judiciary, announced that Gholamreza Khani-Shakarab has been executed on charges of "intelligence cooperation and espionage in favor of Israel." Mizan claims he was the "operational network leader of Mossad" and was executed after the verdict was confirmed by the Supreme Court.

In the judiciary's account, serious accusations have been attributed to him, including recruiting individuals for sabotage operations, receiving cash and cryptocurrency, assaulting and throwing acid on the cars of individuals targeted by Mossad, setting public property on fire, preparing bombs and sending them to Tehran, filming target locations, and even being tasked with facilitating the assassination of a Jewish rabbi in one of the regional countries.

The main ambiguity in the case is how Khani-Shakarab was transferred to Iran. Mizan reported that he was identified abroad and was led into the country through "intelligence deception" and arrested.

Mizan stated: Based on the suspect's confessions, one of the most important missions that the Mossad service had designed for him was to send him to one of the regional countries with the aim of identifying and facilitating the assassination of a Jewish rabbi.

The judiciary report did not mention the date of the suspect's arrest and trial, while describing him as "one of the thugs from one of the provinces of the country with a history of brawling and mischief" and claimed that he "was seeking to recruit individuals and employ them within the country to carry out anti-security actions."

No report has been published regarding the trial process of this suspect, and the judiciary's report did not provide any documents or evidence regarding the accusations.

In recent months, the judiciary of the Islamic Republic has been executing sentences against protesters or individuals accused of collaborating with the U.S. and Israel almost daily. Some human rights organizations say that the Islamic Republic uses executions to create a climate of fear and as a means of repression.
