Iran’s FM berates Israeli daily over report of secret mass executions

Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi
on Wednesday derided a report by the Israel Hayom newspaper that the Islamic Republic had secretly executed thousands of people who participated in protests after telling Washington it would not do so. “Whenever Miriam Adelson’s mouthpiece pushes a dramatic claim about Iran, it’s worth asking who it serves,” Araghchi posted on X, referring to the Israeli-American philanthropist who owns the free daily. “Even the US president has acknowledged where her primary loyalties lie.”

He went on: “In its latest piece, Adelson’s outlet declared — just an hour before [Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin] Netanyahu’s White House visit — that Iran had ‘deceived’ Trump. “The facts: No executions have taken place, no court process has been concluded, and more than 2,000 prisoners have been pardoned. Before buying the narrative being peddled, consider who benefits from it — and who may actually be doing the deceiving.” According to the Israel Hayom report, information has reached several intelligence agencies — including Israel’s Mossad and British and German services — indicating that the Islamic Republic has executed thousands of protesters, despite having told the US it wouldn’t do so.

Regime forces have shot or strangled the protesters in custody, the intelligence reportedly indicates, and have told the protesters’ families that they were killed amid the unrest, despite evidence they were arrested alive. The report, published Wednesday in English and Hebrew, cited two unnamed diplomats. It came as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in Washington to meet with US President Donald Trump on, among other things, a potential strike on Iran, and it was published shortly before the meeting began.
