TEHRAN, July 27, 2025 (BSS/AFP) - Iran on Sunday executed two men after 
convicting them of carrying out armed operations for the exiled opposition 
People's Mujahedin of Iran (MEK), the judiciary said.

"The death sentences of two operational members of the... terrorist group 
were carried out this morning after legal procedures and confirmation by the 
supreme court," the judiciary's Mizan Online website reported.

The men, identified as Mehdi Hasani and Behrouz Ehsani-Eslamloo, were found 
guilty of manufacturing improvised launchers and mortars and conducting 
attacks that targeted civilians, homes and public and charitable 
institutions.

The judiciary said they aimed to "disrupt social order and endanger the 
safety of innocent citizens".

Both men were described as long-time affiliates of the MEK, a group Iran 
designates as a terrorist group.

Authorities said the pair operated from a safe house in Tehran and engaged in 
"propaganda and sabotage", including filming their activities for broadcast 
on MEK-linked channels.

The timing and details of their arrest were not immediately disclosed.

The pair were convicted of baghi (armed rebellion), moharebeh (waging war 
against God), and conspiracy to undermine national security.

Iran enforces capital punishment for a range of serious crimes and ranks as 
the world's second-most prolific executioner after China, according to human 
rights groups including Amnesty International.

Executions in Iran are typically carried out by hanging at dawn.
