Iran executes man accused of spying for Israel
Iran has executed a man accused of spying for Israel, state media reported. Rouzbeh Vadi allegedly passed on information about a nuclear scientist killed in Israel's June attacks on the Islamic Republic, the Iranian judiciary's news outlet Mizan reported. He was executed on Wednesday and had worked in one of Iran's 'important and sensitive organisations', Mizan said. Executions of Iranians convicted of spying for Israel have significantly increased this year, with at least eight death sentences carried out in recent months. Israel's attacks in June involved 12 days of air attacks, including several that targeted Iran's top generals and nuclear scientists, for which Iran retaliated with barrages of missiles and drones. Iran has since the war pledged swift trials for people arrested on suspicion of collaborating with Israel. Mizan reported that Vadi had 'committed a wide range of crimes against the country's internal and external security, which have caused severe disruption to public order'. Vadi was allegedly recruited online and met Mossad – the Israeli intelligence service – officers five times in Vienna, Austria. Separately, Iran hanged a member of the ISIL (ISIS) group on Wednesday after he was accused of plotting sabotage, Mizan also reported. Officials accused Mehdi Asgharzadeh of being a member of the group who participated in military training in Syria and Iraq before illegally entering Iran with a four-member team, who were killed in a fight with Iranian security, the news site reported. Authorities said Iran's Supreme Court upheld the sentences of lower courts and followed full legal procedures before executing both men, Mizan reported.

Russia protests Israeli settler attack on diplomatic vehicle in West Bank
Moscow has lodged a formal complaint with Israel over an attack by Israeli settlers on a Russian diplomatic vehicle near an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank. Russia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement on Tuesday that Moscow considered the attack a 'gross violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961', and expressed 'bewilderment and disapproval' that the attack 'occurred with the connivance of Israeli military personnel'. According to Zakharova, the vehicle belonging to Russia's representation to the Palestinian Authority (PA) and bearing diplomatic registration plates was attacked on July 30 near the 'illegal Israeli settlement of Giv'at Asaf', located east of Ramallah and some 20km (12 miles) north of Jerusalem, by a group of settlers. 'The vehicle sustained mechanical damage. The attack was accompanied by verbal threats directed at the Russian diplomats,' the spokeswoman said, adding that Israeli soldiers present 'did not even bother to stop the aggressive actions of the attackers'. According to reports in Russian media, the vehicle came under attack while carrying members of Russia's diplomatic mission to the PA, who are also accredited with Israel's Foreign Ministry. The Russian Embassy in Tel Aviv has sent a demarche letter to Israeli authorities, Zakharova added. Russia's first deputy permanent representative to the United Nations, Dmitry Polyansky, raised the attack on the diplomatic vehicle at a UN Security Council session on Tuesday focused on Israeli captives in Gaza. Polyansky said the attack on Russia's vehicle in the occupied West Bank comes at a time when 'Israeli authorities have embraced the policy of cleansing and colonising' the Palestinian territory. 'It is ordinary Palestinians and even foreigners who every day become victims of relentless raids by security forces and settler violence,' Russia's UN representative said. The 'attack on an official vehicle of the Russian Mission to the Palestinian Authority' was carried out 'under the lenient eye of the Israeli military', he said. 'It is clear that a systematic policy of exiling Palestinians – whether from the Gaza Strip or the West Bank – is fraught with new risks and dangers for stability and security in the Middle East and could once again bring the region to the brink of a major war,' he added. Violent attacks by Israeli settlers and soldiers in the occupied West Bank have surged since October 2023, with the UN reporting that almost 650 Palestinians – including 121 children – have been killed in the territory by Israeli forces and settlers between January 1, 2024 and the start of July 2025. A further 5,269 Palestinians were injured during that period, including 1,029 children. Settler attacks alone accounted for more than 2,200 casualties and cases of damage to property, the UN said.
