💨 Abstract

Iran executed two men on August 6, 2025: Rouzbeh Vadi for allegedly spying for Israel, providing intel on an Iranian nuclear scientist killed in June's airstrikes, and Mehdi Asgharzadeh, a convicted member of the Islamic State group involved in plotting sabotage. This follows previous executions for espionage amid ongoing tensions with Israel, raising concerns among activists about potential further executions.
