April 25 (Reuters) – Iran said it had hanged an ​Iranian working ‌for Israeli intelligence on Saturday for vandalism and violence ‌during ​nationwide protests ⁠this year, ⁠the semi-official Tasnim news agency reported.

It said Erfan Kiani, ​a “hired thug of Mossad,” had ⁠engaged in ⁠the destruction ​and arson of public ​and private property, ‌spreading fear and terror across the central city ⁠of Isfahan, and wielding a machete. He was ⁠hanged ‌early in ⁠the morning ​after ‌his sentence was ​confirmed by ⁠the Supreme Court and following legal procedures, Tasnim said.
