According to IHR's toll, at least 65 people have been executed in Iran so far this year. The wife of Mohsen Mazloum, one of the executed men, lashed out at the decision in a post on X, formerly Twitter. Iranian authorities had said that the four men executed on Monday were recruited by Mossad "about a year and a half before the operation." The two countries have been engaged in a shadow war for decades, with Iran regularly accusing Israel and its ally the United States of inciting unrest. Iran denied on Monday any links to a drone strike in Jordan that killed three U.S. military personnel.
