On Tuesday, Iran executed a man accused of leading a network connected to Israel's intelligence service and of setting fire to a mosque in Tehran during the January protests, according to the judiciary's news outlet, Mizan.

Mizan identified the man as Amirali Mirjafari, saying he had ​been convicted of ​carrying out arson at the Qolhak ‌mosque ⁠in Tehran and leading anti-security activities, The Caspian Post reports, citing foreign media.

His death sentence was upheld by the Supreme ​Court ​and carried ⁠out early on Tuesday, Mizan added. Iran ​was rocked by nationwide ​anti-government ⁠protests earlier this year, which were repressed in ⁠the ​biggest crackdown in ​the Islamic Republic's history.
