Mossad spy executed in Iran over assassination of nuclear scientist
"Roozbeh Vadi... was executed following judicial proceedings and confirmation of his sentence by the Supreme Court," the Judiciary's Mizan Online website said, adding that the man had leaked information about a "nuclear scientist who was assassinated during the Zionist regime's recent aggression."
According to the case documents and Vadi’s own confessions, he was fully aware that he was collaborating with Mossad.
Mizan reported that Vadi worked at one of Iran's "key and sensitive organizations" and that his access enabled him to pass on "classified information" after being recruited online by Israel's Mossad spy agency and participated in various evaluation stages of Mossad officers.
In mid-June, Israel launched an unprecedented bombing campaign against Iran, triggering a war during which Iran responded with missile and drone strikes.
The Israeli offensive killed senior military commanders, nuclear scientists and hundreds of civilians, striking both military sites and residential areas.
According to local media, at least a dozen nuclear scientists were killed.
Iran has since the war began vowed swift trials for people arrested on suspicion of collaborating with Israel.
According to reports, more than 700 spies affiliated with Mossad were arrested across Iran amid the Israeli aggression against the country in June.
Iran’s security agencies also dismantled many underground drone facilities in Tehran and other cities operated by Mossad agents in recent months.
Separately on Wednesday, authorities executed a man convicted of being a member of the Daesh terrorist group, who was allegedly planning "terrorist operations inside Iran," according to Mizan.
