Iran executed two Islamic State members on July 14 after they were convicted of armed rebellion against the Islamic Republic, state television reported. The report identified the men as Mohieddin Abdollahi and Hossein Palani. It said they belonged to an Islamic State cell formed after the group's territorial defeat in Iraq and Syria and had planned attacks inside Iran.
Iranian security forces located the cell's hideout in the Bamo mountain area near the Iraqi border. Several militants were killed and others arrested during the operation, in which three members of Iran's Revolutionary Guard were also killed. Authorities seized weapons, ammunition and other equipment.
The two men were hanged after the Supreme Court upheld their death sentences. The judiciary did not disclose where the executions were carried out.
