Iranian authorities executed Roozbeh Vadi for spying for Israel, leaking information about a nuclear scientist killed during the June war. Vadi, employed by a sensitive Iranian organization, was recruited online by Mossad. The execution follows Iran's vow to swiftly try those collaborating with Israel, with several executions already announced. This execution comes alongside another for an alleged Islamic State member planning terrorist acts within Iran. Iran's high execution rate, second only to China, remains a concern for human rights groups.
