Man accused by Iran of spying on behalf of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency and aiding in the daring assassination of a Revolutionary Guard Corps officer in Tehran executed
A man accused of spying on behalf of Israel and aiding in the daring 2022 assassination of an Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps officer in Tehran was executed Wednesday, Iranian media outlets reported.
Mohsen Langarneshin, a 34-year-old network security specialist from Isfahan, was hanged at Iran’s Evin prison Wednesday morning, following his conviction on espionage charges.
Iranian authorities and state-linked media outlets claimed Langarneshin was a “senior spy” in Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, linking him to the killing of Hassan Sayyad Khodaei – an IRGC officer accused of orchestrating plots against American, Israeli, and French targets.
