According to Iran’s Fars News Agency, the man, identified as Mehdi Khanki, was executed after being convicted of belonging to what authorities described as an “anti-revolutionary terrorist group” and carrying out “operational acts benefitting the US and Israel.” The execution was carried out following a judicial ruling, the report said.
Iranian authorities stated that Khanki was arrested in Karaj, west of Tehran, after security forces allegedly discovered a cache of weapons and explosives inside his residence. According to the report, the seized arsenal included handguns, ammunition, explosive remote devices, handmade grenades, shoulder-fired explosive tubes and high-powered bombs. Iranian officials claimed the recovered materials were linked to planned sabotage and terrorist activities, though no further operational details were disclosed.
