Tehran, Iran - Iran hanged a man on Thursday after he was convicted of membership in a banned opposition group and alleged collaboration with Israel, according to the judiciary.

Sultan-Ali Shirzadi-Fakhr was executed early in the morning for his involvement in the terrorist group known as the People's Mujahedin Organisation (MEK) and collaborating with the Israeli regime's spy service.

The judiciary's Mizan Online website reported on the conviction and execution.Shirzadi-Fakhr was also found guilty of a capital offense, referred to in Persian as waging war against God, for his participation in operations hostile to the Islamic Republic.

It remains unclear when he was initially arrested.

According to Mizan, Shirzadi-Fakhr had resided in Spain at some point but it is unspecified whether he held any other passports.This execution comes during ongoing military conflict with Israel and the United States, during which authorities have carried out multiple executions of individuals linked to pre-war protests or affiliated with the MEK.

On Wednesday, US President Donald Trump stated that Iran had halted plans to execute eight women arrested over anti-government protests before the war after he urged Tehran to release them.

Iran's judiciary has dismissed this claim as 'false news,' asserting that these women were never at risk of execution.
