Iran executes four Mossad-affiliated individuals accused of espionage

Four people have been executed in Iran on charges of spying for Israel and creating a terrorist group to undermine the national security of the republic on January 29 morning.

The Mossad-affiliated terrorists were detained by Iranian intelligence forces as they were planning to carry out a bombing on a facility belonging to the Iranian defence ministry last year, according to Mehr News.

The four terrorists, Mohammad Faramarzi, Mohsen Mazloum, Vafa Azarbar, and Pejman Fatehi, had illegally entered Iran from the Kurdistan region of Iraq.

They were planning to carry out an operation against the defence ministry facility in Najaf Abad, Isfahan province, on July 23, 2023. They were detained by the Iranian intelligence forces a few days before their operation.

About a year and a half before the operation, the four terrorists were identified and recruited by Mossad by one of the senior members of the Komala terrorist group. They have been trained in the military headquarters of several African countries.

Mossad officers were also present in the training session held for the terrorists and even Mossad chief David Barnea attended one of the sessions to motivate the terrorist team members.
