DUBAI, Oct 19 (Reuters) – Iran executed on Saturday an individual accused of spying for Israel, the judiciary’s Mizan news agency reported on Sunday citing an Iranian prosecutor.

Entangled in a decades-long shadow war with Israel, Iran has executed many people it accused of having links with Israel’s intelligence service and facilitating its operations in the country.
