Iran executed three men for alleged espionage on behalf of Israel, bringing the post-war execution total to six. The judiciary claims the men were Mossad agents, while human rights activists allege they were Kurdish laborers denied fair trials. These executions, part of a post-war crackdown following a 12-day conflict with Israel, are raising concerns about increased repression and human rights violations within Iran. Over 700 people were arrested for alleged ties to Israel during the conflict. Experts warn of a dangerous escalation of repression and fear within Iran, particularly targeting activists and dissidents.
