Iranian authorities have carried out the execution of two individuals identified as members of the exiled opposition group Mujahedin-e Khalq (MEK), accusing them of involvement in attacks targeting civilian infrastructure and of “waging war against God,” a charge often used in Iran for serious offenses against the state.
According to official reports, the two were found guilty of orchestrating operations that damaged public facilities and disrupted civil order. The judiciary maintained that their actions met the legal threshold for moharebeh—an Islamic legal term that translates to “enmity against God,” and is often applied to those accused of armed rebellion or terrorism.
The executions are part of a broader clampdown on opposition movements and dissent within the country. MEK, which has long been in conflict with the Iranian government and operates primarily from exile, was blamed for a series of alleged sabotage efforts in recent months.
Human rights groups have condemned the move, calling it a violation of due process and accusing the Iranian state of using capital punishment as a tool of political repression. The executions are likely to draw further criticism from international observers concerned about Iran’s human rights record, especially regarding political prisoners and opposition figures.
At the time of publication, there has been no official response from the MEK regarding the executions.
