Iran hangs two convicted of links with Israel in pre-war protests: judiciaryTEHRAN, April 5, 2026 (BSS/AFP) - Iran executed two men on Sunday convicted of acting on behalf of Israel and the United States during a wave of anti-government protests earlier this year, the judiciary said. The two men were involved in the anti-government protests that peaked in January, it added. The demonstrations broke out in late December over rising living costs before spreading nationwide and evolving into anti-government protests that peaked on January 8 and 9. On Saturday, Iran executed two members of the MEK after four other convicted members of the group were put to death earlier in the week. On Thursday, it also executed a man convicted of acting on behalf of Israel and the United States during the protests, following similar executions of three others last month.
