Iran says it hung convicted Mossad agent arrested in 2023
Iran's judiciary said it hung on Monday a man arrested in 2023 and convicted of being an agent for Israel's Mossad spy agency as fighting raged between the two arch-nemeses.
"Esmaeil Fekri, a Mossad agent convicted of the capital offenses of 'corruption on earth' and 'moharebeh' (waging war against God), was hung after going through the full process of criminal procedure," the judiciary's Mizan Online news website said.

Iran sought US pressure on Israel for ceasefire via Gulf states, sources tell Reuters
Tehran has asked Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Oman to press U.S. President Donald Trump to use his influence on Israel to agree to an immediate ceasefire with Iran in return for Iranian flexibility in nuclear negotiations, two Iranian and three regional sources told Reuters on Monday. Gulf leaders and their top diplomats worked the phones all weekend, speaking to each other, to Tehran, Washington and beyond in an effort to prevent a widening of the biggest ever confrontation between longstanding enemies Israel and Iran. Iran is willing to be flexible in the nuclear talks if a ceasefire is reached, one of the Iranian sources said. The Gulf states are deeply concerned the conflict will spin out of control, a Gulf source close to government officials told Reuters. Qatar, Oman and Saudi Arabia have all appealed to Washington to press Israel to agree to a ceasefire and to resume talks with Tehran towards a nuclear deal, the Gulf source said. A regional source and an official briefed on Iran's communications with the Gulf said Tehran had reached out to Qatar and Oman to mediate a return to nuclear talks, but insisted that a ceasefire with Israel be put in place first. Iran made clear to Oman and Qatar that it would not negotiate while it is under attack and will only begin serious negotiations once it has finished responding to Israeli strikes, the official said.
