Iran has executed two men convicted of cooperating with Israel's intelligence service and plotting attacks inside the country, according to the judiciary's news outlet. The men, Mohammad Masoum Shahi and Hamed Validi, were accused of being part of a spy network and receiving training abroad, including in Iraq's Kurdistan region.

They were convicted on charges including 'enmity against God' and cooperation with hostile groups. Their death sentences were upheld by the Supreme Court before being carried out.

In a separate case reported two weeks earlier, two other men were executed after being convicted of attempting to storm a military facility and access an armory during unrest in January. Rights group Amnesty International said they were among four individuals facing execution in the same case.

Amnesty International has also warned that 11 more men are at risk of imminent execution over their alleged involvement in nationwide anti-government protests, stating they were subjected to torture and unfair trials that relied on forced confessions.
