HRANA News Agency – On Saturday, October 4, 2025, the Judiciary Media Center announced the execution of six prisoners in Khuzestan, describing them as “members of a separatist terrorist network affiliated with the Zionist regime.”
Mizan News Agency, the Judiciary Media Center stated: “The death sentences of six separatist terrorist elements who, in recent years, carried out a series of armed operations and bombings targeting the security of Khuzestan Province were carried out this morning after completing all legal procedures and approval by the Supreme Court.”
The report further alleged that these prisoners were involved in the deaths of four security and police officers identified as Allah-Nazar Safari, Mohammadreza Rafiei-Nasab, Ali Salehi-Majd, and Younes Bahr.
The Judiciary’s statement also attributed actions such as “collaboration with Israel, designing and carrying out sabotage operations including bomb-making and planting explosives, the explosion at the Khorramshahr gas station, armed attacks on banks, throwing grenades at a military center, and shooting at mosques” to the executed individuals.
Hours after the initial announcement, Mizan updated its report, releasing the names and photos of the six executed prisoners: Ali Mojaddam, Mohammadreza Moghaddam, Moein Khanfari, Habib Deris, Adnan Ghobeishavi, and Salem Mousavi.
The six men were arrested by security forces in Khuzestan in February 2019.
In March 2023, Ali Mojaddam and Mohammadreza Moghaddam were sentenced to death by the Ahvaz Revolutionary Court on charges of leading and membership in the “military wing of the Arab Struggle Movement for the Liberation of Ahvaz (Harakat al-Nidal al-Arabi fi Ahvaz),” for “armed action against the Islamic Republic.” Moein Khanfari, Habib Deris, Adnan Ghobeishavi, and Salem Mousavi were also sentenced to death for membership in the same group and for “armed action against the Islamic Republic.”
Before the executions, Mojaddam, Moghaddam, Khanfari, and Ghobeishavi were held in Sepidar Prison of Ahvaz, and Deris and Mousavi were also detained in the same facility.
The report did not specify the exact location where the executions were carried out.
