Entangled in a decades-long shadow war with ‌Israel, Iran has executed many people it accused of having links with Israel's intelligence service ⁠and facilitating its operations in the country. Executions of Iranians convicted ​of spying for Israel have significantly increased this year, with multiple death sentences carried out in ​recent months. In September 2025, Iran executed a man accused of killing a security officer during unrest sparked by the 2022 death of Mahsa Amini.
