An alleged spy with Israel's Mossad Intelligence service was executed Saturday in the southeastern Sistan-Baluchestan province, Iranian state media reported. 

"This person communicated with foreign services, specifically Mossad, collecting classified information, and with participation with associates, provided documents to foreign services, including the Mossad," tge IRNA news agency said.

The alleged spy was not identified.

IRNA reported that the accused had handed classified information to a "Mossad officer" with the aim of "propaganda for groups and organizations opposed to the Islamic Republic". It did not say where the alleged handover had taken place.
