The judiciary-affiliated Mizan News Agency has announced the execution of two prisoners, Omid Behzad and Pouria Safvat, in the early hours of Monday, August 3, 2026. According to Mizan, the two men had been sentenced to death on charges of transmitting information, including the coordinates of military and security sites, to Israel's intelligence agency, Mossad. The report, however, did not disclose where the executions were carried out or provide any details about where the two men had been held.
According to information obtained by human rights sources, no public information had been released about the men's arrests, legal proceedings, or death sentences before the announcement of their executions. No official details regarding the timing of their arrests or the judicial process had been made public.
Mizan alleged that Behzad and Safvat transmitted information, photographs, and the coordinates of military and security facilities to Mossad and the television network Iran International during the so-called "40-Day War" and the "12-Day War." The agency also claimed that Behzad used location-based applications to identify and transmit the coordinates of these sites. However, no evidence or court documents supporting these allegations have been publicly disclosed.
Information obtained by human rights sources further indicates that the two men were held in an undisclosed location from the time of their arrest until their executions. They were reportedly denied access to legal counsel of their own choosing, family visits, and other basic fair trial rights. Their video confessions are also believed to have been extracted under torture and other forms of coercion while they were held in solitary confinement.
As of the time of publication, no information has been released regarding where the two men were detained, where the executions took place, or whether their bodies have been returned to their families. Significant questions surrounding their detention, trial, and execution remain unanswered.
