Iran has executed at least two people in connection with the January protests and the ongoing war, while a Tehran court has sentenced four others to death over the killing of a Basij-affiliated student during the 2022 protests.
A man identified by the judiciary-affiliated Mizan News Agency as Abbas Akbari Feyzabadi was hanged after being convicted of charges including moharebeh or "enmity against God," destruction of public property, collusion against national security and related offences.
Iranian authorities said he took part in attacks on the governor's office in the city of Naein during protests on 8 and 9 January in Isfahan province — part of nationwide protests sparked by persistent hyperinflation and a spike in cost of living in December 2025 — and opened fire on security forces with a handgun.
Officials said the case rested on evidence, images and confessions, and that Iran's Supreme Court upheld the sentence before it was carried out.
