The judiciary's Mizan Online website reported additional unrelated offenses such as fraud, theft, and illegal weapon possession. Since the protests began in December 2025, Iranian authorities have intensified executions linked to the unrest. These demonstrations, sparked by economic hardship, resulted in thousands of deaths and were seen by Iran as being backed by the US and Israel.
