April 25 (Reuters) – Iran said it had hanged an Iranian working for Israeli intelligence on Saturday for vandalism and violence during nationwide protests this year, the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.
It said Erfan Kiani, a “hired thug of Mossad,” had engaged in the destruction and arson of public and private property, spreading fear and terror across the central city of Isfahan, and wielding a machete. He was hanged early in the morning after his sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court and following legal procedures, Tasnim said.
