Execution of Mossad spy who transferred information related to martyred nuclear scientist to Mossad

Judiciary Media Center – Rozbeh Vadi, son of Ebrahim, who had been arrested and tried on charges of espionage and intelligence cooperation with the Zionist regime, was executed this morning, August 6, 2025, after the completion of full criminal due process and the upholding of the verdict by the Supreme Court.

According to case evidence and Vadi’s own confessions, the convict had full knowledge of his cooperation with the Mossad intelligence–terrorist service and had deliberately collaborated with the Zionist enemy.

The convict was employed at a key and sensitive organization in the country, and due to the level of access he enjoyed, he became an attractive target for the Mossad.

Vadi had been recruited by Mossad through cyberspace. At the early stage of his betrayal, he underwent various assessment procedures conducted by Mossad officers. Upon completion of initial evaluations and verification of his identity, Alex (a codename for one of Mossad’s officers) told him, in view of his workplace and level of access:

“Your evaluation phase is complete. I will now introduce you to one of Mossad’s best divisions.”

After some time, another Mossad officer named Kevin—who was to be his handler—contacted him, officially commencing Vadi’s cooperation with Mossad.

At Vadi’s own request, it was agreed that instead of a performance-based reward system, he would receive a fixed monthly payment via a cryptocurrency wallet.

With the formal launch of his cooperation, Kevin instructed Vadi—after explaining the need for strict information security—to purchase a mobile phone, a laptop, and two USB flash drives to establish secure communications.

After receiving technical training and setting up secure communication systems using the devices he had procured, Mossad’s officer directed him toward extracting and transferring important classified information.

In-person meetings with Mossad officers in Vienna

In the next stage, after sending certain requested intelligence, Vadi was instructed to prepare for a trip to Vienna. In Vienna, the Austrian capital, he met Mossad officers on five occasions.

Vadi had previously traveled to Vienna to attend work-related training programs, and this time—under Mossad’s guidance—he used the cover of attending a specialized training course to make the trip.

According to the case file and his explicit confessions, these meetings with Mossad officers were conducted under extremely strict security protocols. In some instances, after multiple location changes and vehicle swaps, and upon arrival at a so‑called “safe” apartment, the accused would be required to remove his clothing for inspection using special devices, then don specific meeting attire. This full-body search would be repeated again after relocation to another site, prior to the start of the meetings.

Following these five in-person meetings—conducted with high‑level protocols and including searches, psychological testing, polygraph examinations, and assessments of honesty, information security, and loyalty—Vadi was formally connected to his dedicated handler and other Mossad officers present.

During this trip to Austria, Vadi received full briefing on his mission and returned to Tehran to execute Mossad’s directives.

As per Mossad’s instructions, Vadi was tasked with sending weekly updates on organizational developments and accessible intelligence, responding to the service’s technical queries, and receiving corresponding rewards.

Vadi explained that he had proposed sending a compiled information package weekly and receiving payment gradually. However, his Mossad handler strongly rejected the idea and ordered him to send all available intelligence in one go, with payment to follow after evaluation.

His broad collaboration with the Zionist regime included collecting and transmitting classified documents and any other information he could access.

Notably, Vadi also provided Mossad with information on one of Iran’s martyred nuclear scientists who was killed during the recent Israeli aggression.

Identification and arrest of Mossad’s asset in Tehran

While carrying out these acts of treason in favor of the Mossad intelligence–terrorist service, Vadi came under surveillance by Iranian security agencies after one of his meetings with a Mossad officer abroad. Upon uncovering his connections and mode of cooperation with the Zionist enemy, he was arrested.

The prosecution issued a detention order and indictment on charges of: “Espionage and intelligence cooperation in favor of the occupying Zionist regime in exchange for a specified monetary reward.”

The court reviewed these charges in accordance with legal standards.

His deliberate and extensive collaboration with Mossad, provision of intelligence, and receipt of payment for these missions led the court—citing Article 6 of the Law on Countering Hostile Acts of the Zionist Regime Against Peace and Security, as well as Articles 279, 283, 286, and 211 of the Islamic Penal Code (2013)—to sentence him to death.

The verdict stated that: “The convict committed widespread crimes against the internal and external security of the country, causing severe disruption to public order.”

Following issuance of the primary verdict, the case was referred to the Supreme Court for review. Considering the weight of the evidence, the court upheld and confirmed the sentence.

Ultimately, pursuant to the issued rulings and upon completion of all legal formalities, the convict was executed by hanging this morning, August 6, 2025.
