Iran on Thursday executed two men convicted of armed rebellion and links to what authorities described as separatist militant groups.
According to Iran’s judiciary, the two men were accused of carrying out attacks on security forces and planning assassinations in western parts of the country.
State media identified them as Ramin Zaleh and Karim Maroufpour.
Judiciary officials said the pair were convicted on charges including armed rebellion, forming groups against state security and involvement in armed activities.
Authorities also claimed the men had received training to play leading roles during unrest inside the country.
Iran has increased executions in recent months amid ongoing tensions linked to the regional conflict involving Israel and the United States.
Several people accused of espionage or security-related offences have been executed since the conflict began in February.
Earlier this month, Iran executed a man accused of sharing information with Israeli intelligence agencies.
Human rights organisations have long criticised Iran over its use of the death penalty, with rights groups ranking the country among the world’s top executioners.
