Iran executed two men on Sunday (April 5, 2026) convicted of acting on behalf of Israel and the United States during a wave of anti-government protests earlier this year, the judiciary said.
"Mohammad-Amin Biglari and Shahin Vahedparast... were hanged after the case was reviewed and the final verdict was confirmed by the Supreme Court," the judiciary's Mizan Online website said.

The two men were involved in the anti-government protests that peaked in January, it added.
The demonstrations broke out in late December over rising living costs before spreading nationwide and evolving into anti-government protests that peaked on January 8 and 9.
