Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat were accused of providing Israel with coordinates of military and security sites, along with images and other information, during a brief war last summer and the most recent conflict, according to judiciary news outlet Mizan.

Rising Executions Amid Security Crackdown

The executions come at a tense moment for Iran, which quelled a period of nationwide unrest in January by killing thousands of protesters, only for the U.S. and Israel to launch renewed strikes on it on February 28.

A source briefed on Israel's military strategy told Reuters in March that during the current Iran war Israel targeted checkpoints manned by the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps based on intelligence from informants on the ground.

Human Rights Watch reported on July 24 that Iran has executed at least 50 people in the past four months on vague national security charges, including several 18- and 19-year-olds.

Iran's permanent mission in Geneva did not respond to a Reuters request for comment. Tehran has previously denied accusations of abuses against prisoners.

Iran-US Talks Uncertain Amid Ongoing Tensions

U.S. President Donald Trump said talks with Iran would be held on Monday. But Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmail Baghaei said on Monday that there were no talks with the United States at present.

Last year's 12-day war began in mid-June when Israel launched an air campaign that the United States later joined. It ended with a U.S.-brokered ceasefire.

The current conflict began in late February with U.S. and Israeli strikes following weeks of pressure on Iran over its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes and its handling of the January protests.

The warring sides paused major conflict with a fragile truce agreement in June. But Trump has repeatedly issued threats to escalate the war again, only to allow more time for talks, which have so far not led to a comprehensive deal.
