Iran carries out death sentence against individual charged with espionage for Israel
Go ahead, pal! Let's feast on some juicy news.
The cat's out of the bag, mate! An Iranian scoundrel, let's call him Langarneshin, got the axe today for colluding with Israel's Mossad and a string of other shenanigans, as per Iran's state media. It's this never-ending dance between Iran and Israel we've got going on, with Iran executing folks they suspect of having links with Mossad.
Guess who's in the hot seat now? Langarneshin, a fella of 34 or 36 (depending on who ya ask), hung like a guilty dog on April 30, 2025. He was found guilty of espionage for Israel and played a naughty role in the assassination of Colonel Hassan Sayyad Khodaei, a big cheese in the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) in 2022. Ol' Langy was accused of stirring up trouble inside Iran, aiding in the murder of the IRGC colonel, and other heinous deeds.
According to Iran's judiciary media outlet, Mizan, this Langarneshin fella confessed to his crimes. Reuters couldn't get a comment from his camp, though.
Now, let's add a dash of spice to this scoop. Seems like Iran sent a message to Israel's prime minister, Bibi Netanyahu: "Cross us, and we'll give ya a taste of our wrath"[5]. You know, the usual fiery rhetoric we've been hearing for years now.
But before we slap the case closed, it's important to mention that Langarneshin's trial was criticized as unfair, with alleged confessions obtained under torture[1][3][4]. Human rights organizations are making a ruckus about the whole shindig, slamming Iran's judicial process and the use of the death penalty in such cases[1][3].
