The statement by the judiciary identified the four convicts as Hossein Ordukhanzadeh, Shahin Imani Mahmoudabad, Milad Ashrafi Atbatan and Manouchehr Shahbandi Bejandi.

The four men had been arrested by Iranian security forces in June, according to the statement.

A court later sentenced them to death for intelligence cooperation with the zionist regime and for kidnapping.

The group had received instructions from Mossad officers on how to use battle rifles for kidnapping purposes while being paid in return with cryptocurrencies, a previous statement released by IRGC said. (ILKHA)
