Iran hangs a man accused of spying for Israel in a wave of executions Updated 17 mins ago Iran has executed a man accused of spying for Israel, the latest a major wave of executions. Iran identified the man as Bahman Choobiasl. His case wasn’t immediately known in Iranian media reports or to activists monitoring the death penalty in the Islamic Republic. The execution came as Iran vowed to confront its enemies after the United Nations reimposed sanctions on Tehran over its nuclear program this weekend. The European Union followed suit Monday, imposing similar sanctions on Iran.
