Iran Executes Three Men Over 2026 Mashhad Protests
Iranian authorities executed three men in Mashhad who were convicted of involvement in anti-government protests that took place earlier in the year. The men were accused of unrest and espionage linked to Israel. Initially, the executions were reported as part of the government's response to the protests.
Later reports confirmed that these executions occurred amid a wider surge in executions targeting political prisoners and alleged spies in Iran.
