Iran Executes 3 'Israeli Spies' and Arrests 700 Others Following Ceasefire

Iran has executed three men accused of spying for Israel's spy agency Mossad, as reported by the judiciary's Mizan news agency. This development occurred a day after a ceasefire proposal brokered by the US was agreed upon by both Israel and Iran, following 12 days of intense conflict.

The three men, who were hanged, were found guilty of collaborating with Israel's Mossad and smuggling equipment used in an assassination, as per Mizan's report. Up to 700 individuals have been arrested for connections with Israel, according to the state-affiliated Nournews.

Iran, engaged in a long-standing conflict with Israel, has previously executed several people convicted of links with Mossad and aiding the Israeli spy agency's activities in the region.

The truce between Israel and Iran, initiated after the US intervened by targeting three Iranian nuclear sites, faced initial challenges. Accusations of ceasefire violations were exchanged between Tehran and Tel Aviv, drawing criticism from US President Donald Trump.

Subsequently, President Trump affirmed the ceasefire, assuring that Israel would not launch an attack on Iran and that all aircraft were returning home peacefully. He conveyed this message on Truth Social, emphasizing the ceasefire's implementation.

The recent conflict stemmed from Israel's concerns about Iran's alleged progress towards acquiring nuclear weapons, a claim that Iran has refuted.
