HRANA – The Judiciary’s media center announced the execution of Erfan Shakourzadeh, a master’s student in aerospace engineering. Mr. Shakourzadeh had previously been sentenced to death on charges of “intelligence cooperation with Mossad and the CIA.”

Mizan announced this morning that Erfan Shakourzadeh, who had been active in a scientific organization working in the satellite field, was accused of establishing contact with individuals affiliated with Mossad and CIA through platforms such as email, LinkedIn, and WhatsApp.

The report claims that he provided these entities with information regarding the location of his workplace, ongoing projects, and certain details related to the organization where he worked, and in return received payments in cryptocurrency. The Judiciary’s media outlet also alleged that he had sought to establish contact with the CIA in order to obtain a visa and continue his studies abroad.

The judiciary also released a video of what it described as forced confessions attributed to Erfan Shakourzadeh. In the video, which was reportedly recorded under unclear circumstances, he says that CIA and Mossad agents attempted to recruit individuals by promoting the idea that there was “no future or progress in Iran” and by raising topics such as the “futility of studying and working in the country.”

The report did not specify the prison where Mr. Shakourzadeh’s execution was carried out. However, it had previously been reported that he was transferred from Evin Prison to Ghezel Hesar Prison for the implementation of the death sentence.

Erfan Shakourzadeh, approximately 29 years old, was a master’s student in aerospace engineering and satellite technology at Iran University of Science and Technology.
