  "summary": "Iran has executed a man accused of providing information on missile sites in Isfahan province to Israeli intelligence. According to the judiciary, Hossein Pedaran was put to death after being found guilty of \"espionage and intelligence collaboration\" in favour of Israel. His sentence was upheld by the Supreme Court.\n\nThe execution was announced by Iranian judicial authorities, although the exact date of his arrest and trial were not specified. Isfahan province, where the missile sites are located, hosts Iranian nuclear sites and has been one of the hardest hit areas in a Middle East war that began in February, during which numerous missile sites have been bombed.\n\nIran carries out the second-highest number of executions in the world after China, according to rights groups. In August, two men were executed for transmitting the coordinates of sensitive military and security sites to Israel. The judiciary has escalated arrests and executions in connection with the war and nationwide protests that peaked in January.",
