Iran executed Erfan Kiani, an alleged Mossad agent, amid a crackdown on protests.

Iran executed Erfan Kiani for allegedly carrying out a mission for Israel’s Mossad during January protests, according to the country's judiciary. His execution follows the hanging of another man earlier in the week and brings the total to nine men executed since March 19 over charges linked to unrest Iran blames on Israel, the U.S., and opposition groups.
