Iran's judiciary said Hossein Pedaran was executed for providing Israel's Mossad with information on missile sites in Isfahan province, after the Supreme Court upheld his death sentence; it did not say when he was arrested or tried.

Why it matters

Iran has stepped up espionage executions during the war, part of a wider internal security crackdown.
