Iran executed four individuals accused of links to Israeli intelligence after their appeal was rejected by the Supreme Court, Iranian state media reported. The defendants were charged with illegally entering Iran from Iraq's Kurdistan region to carry out a bombing operation targeting an Isfahan-based factory producing equipment for Iran's Ministry of Defence. The plot, allegedly orchestrated by Israel's Mossad, was thwarted by Iranian intelligence. Iran and Israel, longtime adversaries, are embroiled in a dispute over Iran's nuclear program. Israel accuses Iran of sponsoring militant attacks, while Iran accuses Israel of assassinating its officials and scientists, a claim Israel neither confirms nor denies.
