Iran Executes Man Accused of Spying for Israel

Tehran, Iran – December 20, 2025: Iranian state media announced the execution of Aghil Keshavarz, 27, on Saturday, December 20th, after he was convicted of espionage on behalf of Israeli intelligence agency Mossad.

According to state television, Keshavarz had “close intelligence cooperation” with Mossad, including taking photographs of Iranian military and security installations. He was apprehended in May in the city of Urmia while reportedly photographing a military headquarters. Authorities alleged that he conducted over 200 similar assignments across Iran.

The judiciary handed down a death sentence, which was subsequently upheld by the Supreme Court.

The execution comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel following a 12-day air war in June, which resulted in approximately 1,100 casualties in Iran and 28 in Israel. This is at least the eleventh execution carried out by Iran since the conflict, all related to espionage charges.

In October, Iran executed another individual for spying for Mossad in the city of Qom.

Critics have raised concerns about the transparency of Iran’s espionage trials, noting that they are often held behind closed doors, and defendants are frequently denied access to evidence against them.
