Mass Executions in Iran: Regime Executes Citizens, Claims 700 Israeli Agents Uncovered


Mass Executions in Iran: Regime Executes Citizens, Claims 700 Israeli Agents Uncovered After Crushing Military Loss


In the aftermath of a devastating 12-day military conflict that left Iran’s nuclear program in ruins and its military leadership decimated, the Islamic Republic has launched a brutal crackdown against its own people, executing citizens and arresting over 700 individuals it claims were Israeli spies. Human rights groups are calling the regime’s actions a reign of terror designed to deflect blame for its catastrophic intelligence and military failures.

On June 25, 2025, Iranian authorities executed three Kurdish men, Edris Ali, Azad Shojaei, and Rasoul Ahmad Rasoul, in the northwestern city of Urmia. The regime claimed they had smuggled assassination equipment into Iran disguised as alcoholic beverages for Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency. These executions brought the total number of people put to death on espionage charges during the conflict to six.

The speed of these executions underscores the regime’s desperation to find a scapegoat. Iranian authorities pushed through the death sentences in less than 48 hours after President Trump announced the Israel-Iran ceasefire.

According to human rights activists, rather than being sophisticated international spies, the executed men were Kurdish day laborers with no access to classified information who were denied fair trials. Many of the detainees were held incommunicado, without access to legal counsel. Their real crime appears to be belonging to ethnic minorities that the regime routinely scapegoats during times of crisis.

The executions are just the tip of the iceberg. Iranian state media reports that over 700 people have been arrested on charges of collaborating with Israel since the conflict began on June 13. The regime-backed Fars News Agency described these individuals as “Israeli mercenaries,” although there appears to be no evidence supporting the accusations.

Iranian authorities have disclosed that many of those arrested come from ethnic minority groups, primarily Kurds and Azeris living near Iran’s western and northwestern borders with Iraq and Turkey. These communities have long faced persecution and marginalization under the Islamic Republic, making them convenient targets when the regime needs someone to blame.

Iran has a documented history of targeting its Jewish minority with espionage accusations, including the arrest of 13 Iranian Jews in 1999 on similar charges. The current crackdown appears to follow this familiar pattern of using national security as a pretext to persecute vulnerable communities.
