Public sentiment is sharply divided regarding Iran's execution of individuals accused of espionage. While many express strong support for the government's actions, viewing them as necessary for national security and a form of justice against perceived betrayal, significant concerns over human rights violations, wrongful accusations, and governmental overreach also emerge. The divide is evident with some commenters portraying the executed as traitors deserving of punishment, while others highlight the potential for innocent victims and the repressive nature of the regime.

Wonder if it was an actual case of espionage or if they’re just in a panic and locking down after trumps strike. Not that either would be surprising

&gt; DUBAI, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Iran executed a man on Wednesday convicted of spying for Israel and passing on information about a nuclear scientist killed in Israel's June attacks on the Islamic Republic, the judiciary's news outlet Mizan reported.
&gt;   
&gt; The report said the man, named Rouzbeh Vadi, had worked in one of Iran's "important and sensitive organisations," without going into further detail.

&gt;   
&gt; Executions of Iranians convicted of spying for Israel has significantly increased this year, with at least eight death sentences carried out in recent months.
&gt;   
&gt; The report said Vadi had "committed a wide range of crimes against the country's internal and external security which have caused severe disruption to public order".
&gt;   
&gt; Israel launched 12 days of [air strikes](https://www.reuters.com/graphics/IRAN-NUCLEAR/ISRAEL/dwvklgrgjpm/) in June, targeting Iran's top generals and nuclear scientists. Iran retaliated with barrages of missiles and drones.

Iran lost the conventional war and the security one. So iran picks on its own population to show strength while at little risk of retaliation. They can also brand every enemy of Iran as a traitor and kill them off with little resistance

Absolute_Satan

Probably the equivalent of "fell" off a balcony in Russia. Likely the intelligence needed to practice nuclear science does not lend itself to listening to the propaganda of a theocratic government whose every word is a lie.

Ok_Currency_617

The number one killer of Iranians this year, as in previous years, is the Iranian regime. They’ve executed more people than Israel has killed during the war, which is wild.

And still we will have some useful idiots around here pretending Iran has any kind of due process. The same regime that executes rape victims and imprisons young girls for what they wear.

TheJewPear

You know what they say: Every accusation is a confession.

Which says a lot given this sub’s absolute fucking *obsession* with constantly calling people who aren’t sufficiently anti-Israel enough ‘Hasbara.’

And now, sub regulars tripping over their dicks to justify Iran’s atrocious human rights record and the Ayatollah’s regime really make you wonder how much a Rial buys these days.

TearOpenTheVault

So now Iran is relying on the Taliban for its own internal security? Damn that’s not a good look

Equivalent-Cry-5345

I thought Iran is a nice and peaceful regime? Did the Left lie?

ProfessorWild563

At this point, Iran has now executed 12 out of every 5 spies in the country

WealthyMarmot

Imagine Mossad laying false intelligence everywhere making it look like the top Iranian scientists are all spies....and Iran executes them,  4D chess.

Objective_Mousse7216

Great tactic for Israel ngl, just post every known Nuclear scientist, claim they are mossad and make Iran do the rest

Dangerous_Pause2044

Imagine getting another country to off its smartest people just by adding a dash of paranoia. Talk about efficiency.

Flyingcoyote

The nuclear rockets were not pointy enough.

A-Good-Weather-Man

I'm pretty sure Khameini is a Mossad agent. They should look into this!

JuliusFIN

Mossad:  It's fine, they got the wrong nuclear scientist.

Statistically, they gotta be right sometimes

Their model of gallows is actually not a legend or myth:

["Some countries, such as Iran, use cranes to publicly hang the condemned."](https://www.unitedagainstnucleariran.com/cranes)

newmoonchaperone

The guy who signed execution order or planted the evidence was probably a Mossad lol

Zodiamaster

Please make Ayatollah to look like a mossad  spy

minobi

"Well that worked out better than expected" - Israel probably

Snorlax_king79

Weren't a large part of the scientists sent from Russia to help? Did they get them as well? 

Aloysiusakamud

If Mossad wants to kill Iranian nuclear scientists, this is the best way to do it.

milagr05o5

Maybe mossad also "planting" evidence against the scientists.

simian1013

It makes me sad that it's 2025 and there are still people being hanged.

His [Google Scholar](https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=en&amp;user=RLSgOzwAAAAJ). I expected a little more, honestly. Doesn't counter the barbarism though.

que_pedo_wey

I know that ayababayola gomeyney was a spy.I know iranian guards of queer revolution read this tread, so you know what to do

got_light

Well, ISIS membership plus terror/insurrectionist stuff.

A religious extremist, but not their kind of extremist, being the Sunni Salafist Jihadist putting their ideals into action type.

steve_ample

They quickly issued an apology as this was a clerical error.

Pretty bad when Iran is even like...Yeah, this guy's gotta go.
