Iran executed 29-year-old aerospace engineering graduate student Erfan Shakourzadeh on May 11, 2026, after convicting him of spying for the CIA and Israel's Mossad — charges he rejected in a smuggled letter alleging eight and a half months of torture and forced confession. The execution, carried out in secret without notice to his family, is the latest in a surge of espionage-related hangings since the June 2025 Israel-Iran war, amid broader concerns about Iran's record-breaking execution rate and the absence of fair trial guarantees in Revolutionary Court proceedings.
