Iranian state media reported the execution of Pedram Madani, 41, convicted of spying for Israel. Madani was reportedly hanged after his death sentence was upheld by Iran's supreme court. He allegedly provided classified information to Mossad in exchange for currency and cryptocurrency, including a meeting at the Israeli embassy in Belgium. This execution follows a recent surge in executions in Iran, with at least 60 reported in the past 10 days, according to Iran Human Rights. Madani is the third person executed this year on similar charges.
