Iran executes man accused of aiding U.S., Israel in anti-government protests

Iranian authorities executed Majid Adineh on Sunday following his conviction for his involvement in anti-government protests that occurred earlier this year. The judiciary stated that Adineh was found guilty of conducting 'operational action in favour of hostile groups,' specifically accusing him of acting as an agent for the United States and Israel.

Reports indicate that the charges against Adineh included the possession of a chainsaw during the nationwide demonstrations. The execution marks a continuation of the state's judicial response to the civil unrest that began late last year.
