Iran Executes 6 Death-Row Inmates Alleged to Have Carried Out Attacks on Behalf of Israel

Iran executed six death-row inmates on Saturday in the country’s oil-rich southwest, accusing them of carrying out attacks on behalf of Israel. These latest executions are part of a wave of capital punishments, believed to be the highest in decades. This comes amid heightened tensions between Iran and Israel, as the two countries continue to be at odds over various political and military issues. The executed prisoners were accused of being involved in attacks in Iran’s southwestern region, which is home to much of the country’s oil reserves.
