The report said the spy was linked to foreign intelligence services, including Mossad, and charged with involvement in releasing classified information.
The judiciary body executed the person in a prison in Zahedan, the capital of the southeastern province of Sistan and Baluchistan.
In April 2022, Iranian intelligence officers arrested three people they said belonged to a group linked to Mossad. It is not clear if the executed person was one of them.
Iran and Israel have accused each other of spying and waging a shadow war for years. Israel has repeatedly threatened to take military action to prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. Iran has vowed a harsh response to any aggression.
In 2020, Iran executed a man convicted of leaking information to the U.S. and Israel about a prominent Islamic Revolutionary Guard general who was later killed by a U.S. drone strike in Iraq.
