Single source · Rasht, Iran ·
Iran International, citing Iran Human Rights, reports that Iran executed a 28-year-old Iraqi man convicted of spying for Saudi Arabia, a charge he denied. IranWire separately reports that an Iraqi national was executed in Rasht, Gilan, on espionage charges linked to Saudi Arabia. No Iranian official source has confirmed the execution.

Sources disagree on:
- IranWire places the execution in Rasht, Gilan; Iran International gives only 'Iran' as the place.
- Iran International says the man denied the charge; the IranWire item does not mention a denial.
- IranWire's item cites no source, so it is unclear whether it has separate sourcing or relies on the same underlying report as Iran Human Rights.
