Iran’s judiciary said it has executed a man accused of leaking sensitive information about a facility linked to the defense industry and passing it to the opposing side. Officials said the site was attacked three days later and was completely destroyed.
The announcement did not identify the facility or provide further details about the information allegedly shared. It framed the execution as a case involving national security and military secrecy.
Separately, authorities in Iran’s Fars province detained 15 people on allegations that they took part in protests. No further details were given on the timing or circumstances of the arrests.
The two developments underline the Iranian authorities’ continued focus on security-related cases, both in relation to alleged espionage and public unrest.
