Execution of ‘Rouzbeh Vadi’ on Charges of Mossad Espionage
“Rouzbeh Vadi” was executed this morning on charges of espionage for Mossad.
Rouzbeh Vadi, son of Ibrahim, had been arrested and tried on charges of espionage and cooperation with Mossad and transmitting nuclear information to the benefit of the Zionist regime. Following criminal proceedings and confirmation of the sentence by the country’s Supreme Court, he was executed this morning, Wednesday, Mordad 15, 1403.
The Judiciary of the Islamic Republic issued a vague and ambiguous statement in recent hours announcing the execution of Rouzbeh Vadi on charges of espionage for Israel, without any reference to his position, occupation, and expertise in nuclear projects.
Rouzbeh Vadi held a doctorate in nuclear engineering with a focus on reactors from Amir Kabir University of Technology. He was also a former researcher at the Nuclear Science and Technology Research Institute affiliated with Iran’s Atomic Energy Organization. Mr. Vadi had published a joint article in 1390 (2011) with “Abdolhamid Minocher” and “Ahmad Zolfaghari,” two prominent nuclear specialists. Minocher and Zolfaghari were also killed during Israeli attacks on Iran.
According to security agencies, Rouzbeh Vadi transmitted sensitive information to the Israeli intelligence service and was supposed to prepare himself for travel to Vienna following the transmission of this information. His travel was also covered by participation in a specialized scientific course, during which he met with Mossad officers.
According to judicial authorities, Vadi was recruited to cooperate with Mossad through cyberspace and participated in various evaluation stages with Mossad officers. Following the completion of evaluation phases and identity verification, he was introduced to one of Mossad’s best departments by a person named “Alex.”
According to claims by authorities released following examination of Vadi’s case, Rouzbeh was required to send organizational developments and information in his possession to the Israeli intelligence service on a weekly basis, and after answering technical questions, he would receive appropriate compensation.
Judicial authorities claim that Vadi stated in his confessions: “In connection with my direct Mossad officer, I did not have final decision-making authority. I only suggested to Coin that I send a compiled package of information I had collected on a weekly basis and they would pay me gradually, but the Mossad officer strongly objected to this plan and informed me that I must send all the information at my disposal to him at once so that after review and evaluation, appropriate compensation would be paid.”
Rouzbeh Vadi’s cooperation with the Mossad intelligence service and his attempt to transmit nuclear information and receive money in exchange for the information led to his conviction of execution based on the court’s ruling under Article 6 of the law against hostile acts of the Zionist regime against peace and security and Articles 279, 283, 286, and 211 of the Islamic Penal Code adopted in 1392 (2013).
Rouzbeh Vadi is not the only person arrested on charges of espionage for Mossad and sentenced to execution. According to published reports on the detention statistics of many Christians and Jews on charges of espionage for Israel, many of them remain in detention without valid evidence or documents and their fate remains unknown.
In many cases, no information about the identity and reasons for charges against detained individuals has been disclosed to the media, and due to threats to their families, news of their detention and unknown fate remains concealed.
