Last month, Iran's judiciary claimed that Mahmoud Mousavi-Majd, who was arrested in 2018, was "linked to the CIA and the Mossad" that resulted in the killing of former Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Qassem Soleimani on January 3 in a US drone strike near Baghdad airport.
"Mahmoud Mousavi Majd's sentence was carried out on Monday morning on the charge of espionage so that his betrayal to his country will be closed forever," the judiciary's Mizan Online website reported.
Soleimani headed the Quds Force. The US administration believes he was the mastermind behind attacks conducted by Iranian militia on US troops based in this region.
