 Iran on Tuesday executed a man convicted of spying for Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, according to official reports, NY Times writes.

Iran’s judiciary reported that the man, Ali-Akbar Siadat, had been hanged at Tehran’s Evin Prison after being found guilty of passing on to “Iran’s enemies” information about the country’s military forces, including facts concerning the missile program operated by the Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps.

According to the charges against him, Mr. Siadat had met with Israeli agents on repeated occasions over the course of six years in destinations like Turkey, Thailand and the Netherlands, receiving payments of $3,000 to $7,000 for each meeting. He was arrested in 2008, according to the official IRNA news agency.

The official list of charges on which Mr. Siadat had been convicted included “spreading corruption on earth,” “supporting the Zionist regime” and “opposing the Islamic Republic.”

Earlier this year, Mr. Siadat was among the 192 detainees that opposition Web sites named as political prisoners being held by Iran’s authorities.
