The Islamic Republic executed three men accused of smuggling equipment for the assassination of Iranian officials.

Axar.az informs according to Mizan, Edris Aali, Azad Shojaei, and Rasoul Ahmad Rasoul were executed at Urmia Prison on the official charges of "spreading corruption on earth and moharebeh (enmity against God) through collaboration with hostile foreign governments in the Zionist regime's interest."

"They hid the assassination tools in a shipment of alcohol, which ultimately led to the killing of a notable figure," Mizan added.

Earlier reports said the three men were kolbars (cross-border porters) accused of smuggling equipment and weapons used in the 2020 assassination of Mohsen Fakhrizadeh, a key figure in Iran’s nuclear program.
