Iran’s judiciary announced on Saturday that it carried out the execution of six people it described as members of a “terrorist group,” convicted of carrying out armed attacks in Khuzestan Province in southwestern Iran.
The judiciary stated: “At dawn today, the death sentence was carried out against six separatist terrorists who, in recent years, committed a series of armed operations and bombings targeting the security of Khuzestan Province.”
Iranian media reported that “the defendants confessed to planning and executing several deadly operations, including the assassination of four security personnel and a bombing in the city of Khorramshahr in Khuzestan Province.”
It added that, in addition to their “involvement in terrorist operations, the individuals were in contact with the Zionist entity and received support from hostile foreign parties.”
“The actions of the terrorists who were executed repeatedly posed a threat to the security and safety of citizens in Khuzestan over the past years,” the statement concluded.
