Tehran, IRNA – Iran’s judiciary has announced that four rioters convicted of links to the Zionist regime of Israel’s intelligence service Mossad were executed early on Sunday.

The statement by the judiciary identified the four convicts as Hossein Ordukhanzadeh, Shahin Imani Mahmoudabad, Milad Ashrafi Atbatan and Manouchehr Shahbandi Bejandi.

The four men had been arrested in June by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC). A court later sentenced them to death for intelligence cooperation with the Zionist regime and for kidnapping.

The group had received instructions from Mossad officers on how to use battle rifles for kidnapping purposes while being paid in return with cryptocurrencies, according to a previous IRGC statement.
