According to Iranian authorities, equipment smuggled by the men was used in the killing of an unnamed individual. Reuters noted that Iran has executed a significant number of people it claims were involved with Mossad or assisted its operations inside the country.

Three men convicted of spying for the Zionist regime’s Mossad spy agency and smuggling assassination equipment into Iran were hanged in the country’s northwestern city of Orumiyeh on Wednesday.

The three were convicted of working with Mossad, and for smuggling equipment which was used in an assassination.
