Iran executed a man convicted of spying for the Israeli intelligence and army on Saturday, state media reported.
State TV identified the executed man as Aghil Keshavarz, saying he had “close intelligence cooperation” with Mossad and took photos of Iranian military and security areas.
Keshavarz was arrested while taking pictures of a military headquarters in the northwestern city of Urmia, some 600km (370 miles) northwest of the capital Tehran in May.

He was accused of carrying out more than 200 similar assignments for Israel’s foreign intelligence agency in various cities of Iran, including Tehran.
He was tried and given the death sentence, a ruling the Supreme Court upheld, the report said.
