Mohsen Langarneshin was executed by Iran for allegedly collaborating with Israel's Mossad intelligence agency. He was convicted of providing logistical support to Mossad and involvement in Colonel Sayyad Khodai's assassination and an attack on an industrial site.
Langarneshin was hanged after being convicted, despite concerns over his trial's fairness. Rights groups claim his confessions were extracted under torture, and he denied all charges. The execution was condemned by human rights organizations.
The Iranian judiciary stated Langarneshin provided "logistical, technical, and operational support" to Mossad over two years. However, rights groups and activists disputed the fairness of his trial and the use of torture to extract confessions.
Langarneshin's execution drew criticism from activists, including Nazanin Boniadi, who described it as "yet another innocent life taken." The execution comes amid ongoing nuclear talks between Iran and the United States.
