war<\/a><\/span> triggered by a U.S.-Israeli attack on February 28.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Mehdi Rassouli and Mohammad Reza Miri, Mossad agents involved in the January riots in Mashhad (northeast), responsible for widespread violence and the death of a member of the security forces, were hanged,&#8221; said the Iranian judiciary&#8217;s Mizan Online website, referring to the Israeli spy agency.<\/p>\n<p>The court accused the two men of &#8220;using Molotov cocktails and bladed weapons, inciting and encouraging others to kill, and directly participating in the murder of a security officer.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ebrahim Dolatabadi, one of the main instigators of the riots in Mashhad that claimed the lives of several members of the security forces, was also hanged,&#8221; Mizan added.<\/p>\n<p>The sentences were carried out after the Supreme Court confirmed the verdict for all three men, said Mizan.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Bita Hemmati was believed to be the <span

over the protests, according to several rights groups.<\/p>\n<p>According to Iranian authorities, the wave of protests that peaked in January began peacefully before descending into &#8220;riots fomented by foreign powers.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The government has acknowledged more than 3,000 deaths in the protests but blames the violence on &#8220;terrorist acts&#8221; orchestrated by the United States and Israel.<\/p>\n<p>On Sunday, a man was executed for his role in a murder committed during another round of protests that rocked Iran in 2022-2023 following the <span class=\"link\"><a

Iranian Kurdish woman.<\/p>\n<p>Iran is the world&#8217;s most prolific executioner after China, according to rights groups.<\/p>\n<p>According to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/IranHrm\/status\/2044321465399414804\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Iran Human Rights Monitor<\/a>, Iran carried out 656 executions in the first three months of this year but the actual tally is &#8220;likely far higher&#8221; since Iran was largely offline in March when only eight were recorded.<\/p>\n<p>Norway-based Iran Human Rights and Paris-based Together Against the Death Penalty said\u00a0 last month in their\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/iranhr.net\/media\/files\/2025_Annual_Report_on_the_Death_Penalty.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joint annual report<\/a>\u00a0on the death penalty in Iran that at least 1,639 people were executed in 2025 \u2014 including 48 women.<\/p>\n<p>In March, Iran executed three men who were accused of killing police officers during the protests,\u00a0<span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/iran-execution-teen-wrestler-january-protests\/\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">including Saleh Mohammadi<\/a><\/span>, a young member of Iran&#8217;s national wrestling team.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Dozens of individuals arrested during the January 2026 protests have been sentenced to death following grossly unfair, fast-tracked trials conducted without due process, access to independent counsel and reliance on torture-tainted forced &#8216;confessions&#8217; as evidence,&#8221; said the
