Iran's Double Agent Executed for Spying for Britain

TL;DR Summary
Alireza Akbari, Iran's former Deputy Defense Minister, was executed earlier this year after being convicted of espionage. He was revealed as the mole who provided critical information about Iran's underground uranium enrichment facility at Fordo to Western intelligence agencies, including MI6. His information showed clear evidence of Iran's intentions to obtain nuclear capability, leading to the imposition of strict sanctions on Tehran. Akbari lived a double life, appearing as a religious extremist and political hardliner in public, even after relocating to the UK to begin his private business dealings.
