Iran Executes Two Over Government Building Attack, Judiciary Reports

Iranian authorities have executed two men convicted of carrying out an attack on a government building, according to the country’s judiciary-affiliated news outlet.

The men were found guilty of links to the opposition group People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran and involvement in multiple armed operations, including the use of projectile weapons targeting a government facility.

State media reported that the executions were carried out following the approval of their sentences by Iran’s Supreme Court. The judiciary described the actions as part of ongoing efforts to combat what it calls “terrorist activities” and threats to national security.

The latest executions come just a day after two other individuals linked to the same opposition network were also put to death, signalling an intensified crackdown by Iranian authorities on suspected dissidents.

The development is unfolding amid heightened tensions within Iran, as the government ramps up security measures during the ongoing regional conflict. Officials have warned that individuals accused of espionage or collaboration with hostile states could face severe penalties, including execution and asset seizures.

Human rights observers say the recent wave of executions reflects a broader pattern of repression, with authorities increasing arrests and punitive actions to deter dissent during a period of political and economic strain.

Iran has faced repeated international criticism over its use of capital punishment, particularly in cases involving political charges and alleged links to opposition groups. However, Tehran maintains that its judicial processes are lawful and necessary to preserve national stability.
