Iran has executed a former deputy defence minister by hanging.
The death of the minister came over an allegation of spying for the United Kingdom.
The judiciary’s official news outlet said on Saturday that the minister Alireza Akbari, a British-Iranian dual national, was hanged after being convicted of corruption and acting against national security by spying for British intelligence.
It added; “The actions of the British spy service in this case have shown the value of the convict, the importance of his access and the enemy’s trust in him."
According to the Iranian judiciary, Akbari began working with British intelligence in 2004.
In 2009, he was allegedly advised by the UK to leave Iran.
Akbari then re-entered Iran several years later to continue his activities, and was ultimately arrested.
