Iranian state media has claimed that two Israeli spies have been executed by hanging as tensions in the Middle East soar.

Tehran’s regime-controlled media claimed two spies, Yacub Karimpour and Naser Bakarzadeh, were killed for ” the crime of intelligence cooperation and espionage in favour of the Zionist regime and the Mossad intelligence service.”

They added: “Nasser Bakarzadeh also, at the behest of the Mossad officer, collected the identities of important government, religious, and provincial figures, access key centres like the Natanz region, and sent them to the service’s agent.”

The executions have not been confirmed by the Israeli government.
