The men were charged with providing Israel with coordinates of military and security sites, alongside images and intelligence, during recent conflicts. These executions mark a notable increase in capital punishment for national security offences and occur during a period of heightened tension for Iran, which recently suppressed widespread unrest in January and faced renewed strikes from the US and Israel on 28 February. Donald Trump claimed on his Truth Social platform that talks with Iran were scheduled for Monday, suggesting that Iran and other Middle Eastern countries had requested time to complete a deal to reopen the Strait of Hormuz and address Iran's nuclear threat. Iran's Foreign Ministry spokesperson, Esmail Baghaei, denied Trump's claim, stating that Tehran is not currently holding any talks with Washington. Instead, Iran is in discussions with Oman regarding securing a temporary safe route through the Strait of Hormuz. Baghaei added that reaching an agreement with Oman would not be sufficient to reopen the strait, as the situation would remain unchanged while US 'aggression' continues, referencing the ongoing conflict that began in late February with US and Israeli strikes.
