Iran executes 3 for spying for Israel, just day after ceasefire

Just a day after a ceasefire with Israel took effect, Iran said on Wednesday it had executed three men accused of spying for the Israeli government. The men were allegedly involved in smuggling equipment to carry out assassinations and were convicted of working with what Iran called the “Zionist regime.”
