Iranian authorities have executed three men—Hassan Divband, Hamid Kazemi, and Reza Zanganeh—after the country's Supreme Court upheld their death sentences, according to reports by the Jerusalem Post and judicial authorities. The three were accused of collaborating with Israel and the United States, as well as participating in anti-government protests.

Separately, Israel's Ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, sharply criticized the Iranian representative, as reported by Channel 7. The confrontation occurred against the backdrop of Iranian efforts to block a resolution being promoted by Danon within the international body. During the exchange, the Israeli ambassador labeled the Iranian delegate a "coward." Further details have not yet been released.
