Story summary

On October 3, 2026, Iran executed Siavash Jamshidi, a man convicted of various charges related to anti-government protests that peaked in January. According to the Iranian judiciary, Jamshidi was sentenced to death for crimes including moharebeh (waging war against God) through firing at police officers and conspiring against national security. 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.
