Iran has executed four "saboteurs" linked to Israel's Mossad intelligence service, the Mizan news agency affiliated to the judiciary said on December 29. "Four members of a sabotage team associated with the Zionist regime, who had committed extensive actions against the country's security under the guidance of Mossad officers, were executed this morning following legal procedures," it said. Two weeks ago, Iran's official IRNA news agency said an alleged Mossad agent was executed in the southeastern Sistan-Baluchistan Province, without naming the individual or detailing the allegations. Iranian officials frequently accuse outside powers of interference, and trials in Iran can be intransparent.
