Walid Saadaoui, 38, and Amar Hussein, 52 , were convicted at Preston Crown Court after investigators uncovered their plan to smuggle automatic weapons and ammunition into the UK. Authorities revealed that the men intended to launch a gun rampage targeting mass gatherings of Jewish people.

Iran Executes Alleged Mossad Operative Amid Escalating Tensions

Entangled in a decades-long shadow war with Israel, Iran has executed many individuals it accuses of having links with Israel's Mossad intelligence service.

Iran announced the execution of Bahman Choobiasl, described by state media as “one of the most important spies for Israel in Iran.” The judiciary’s Mizan news agency claimed Choobiasl had collaborated with Israel’s Mossad intelligence service, working on sensitive telecommunications projects and allegedly providing information on the import routes of electronic equipment.

The execution marks the 10th such case since Iran’s brief but intense conflict with Israel in June, which left more than 1,000 people dead and heightened regional hostilities. Authorities said Choobiasl’s death sentence was upheld by Iran’s Supreme Court on charges of “corruption on earth,” a term often used in espionage and national security cases.

Human rights groups have raised concerns over the surge in executions, noting that Iran has carried out more than 1,000 death penalties this year alone — the highest pace since the late 1980s. Activists also warn that many of those accused of spying may have been coerced into confessions under torture.

The case underscores the deepening shadow war between Iran and Israel, as both nations continue to accuse each other of covert operations, assassinations, and cyberattacks.
