'Provided sensitive information': Iran executes alleged Mossad spy; dozens detained since Israeli strikes
As the conflict between Iran and Israel entered its tenth day, Iranian authorities on Sunday executed a man convicted of spying for Israel's Mossad intelligence agency, according to the country's judiciary.
"Majid Mosayebi... was hanged this morning after going through the full process of criminal procedure and after his sentence was confirmed by the Supreme Court," the judiciary-run Mizan online website reported.
He had been accused of attempting to provide sensitive information to Mossad.
Mosayebi's case is the latest in a series of similar executions. In May, Iranian authorities executed Mohsen Langarneshin Pedram Madani, also convicted of spying for Mossad.
Since Israel's attack on June 13, Iranian authorities have made several arrests of individuals suspected of spying for Israel.
The execution comes the same day as US bombed Iran's three nuclear facilities, following which, Tehran carried out retaliatory strikes on Tel Aviv and targeted strategic sites in Israel.
Iran's revolutionary guards said they won't be intimidated by the noise made by Trump 'or criminal gangs ruling the White House and Tel Aviv' and warned that US has places itself directly 'at the front line of aggression' by attacking nuclear sites.

Tribunal allows more time to Odisha, Chhattisgarh to resolve Mahanadi water dispute amicably
Bhubaneswar, In a positive development to the long-standing Mahanadi river water-sharing dispute, Odisha and Chhattisgarh have agreed for an amicable settlement, prompting the Mahanadi Water Disputes Tribunal to grant additional time for negotiations. Tribunal allows more time to Odisha, Chhattisgarh to resolve Mahanadi water dispute amicably At a hearing held on Saturday, the tribunal took note of the recent correspondence and statements from both states advocating for a negotiated resolution. "We deem it appropriate to request the secretaries concerned of the respective states to remain present before the tribunal on the next date and apprise it about the progress of settlement talks between the two states," the tribunal headed by chairperson Justice Bela M. Trivedi said. The tribunal fixed September 6 as the next date of hearing. Earlier, Odisha's Advocate General Pitambar Acharya informed the tribunal that both the states have begun exploring an amicable resolution to the dispute and there has been progress in discussions at both the chief secretary and political levels. He also said that the state government believes a breakthrough is possible if the matter is approached with a "positive mindset" by the chief ministers of both states. Acharya also placed on record a copy of the letter dated July 25 along with the draft minutes of the proceedings of high-level meeting chaired by Odisha Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi, a copy of letter written by Majhi to his Chhattisgarh counterpart sending a proposal of an amicable settlement of Mahanadi water dispute. Acharya also placed a copy of Chhattisgarh CM Vishnu Deo Sai's reply to Majhi and stated that the matter for settlement of the water dispute between the two states was under consideration. This apart, senior advocate for the Chhattisgarh government has also informed the tribunal that the issue of settlement of the disputes is under active consideration before their chief minister. Meanwhile, Sai has acknowledged receiving the Majhi's letter and stated that the matter is under consideration, keeping the option for a negotiated resolution open. The Mahanadi water-sharing dispute has continued for nearly a decade. Odisha has time and again alleged that Chhattisgarh's construction of barrages and dams in the upstream region has blocked the natural flow of water, adversely affecting agriculture and livelihoods in the lower basin areas, especially during the non-monsoon season. After early talks between the states failed, Odisha moved the Supreme Court in November 2016, seeking formation of a tribunal under the Inter-State River Water Disputes Act, 1956. The Centre formed the Mahanadi Water Disputes Tribunal in March 2018, initially headed by Justice AM Khanwilkar. The proceedings continued between 2018 and 2023 with data submissions, arguments, and inspections from both states. Speaking to PTI, Acharya noted that no inter-state water dispute in the country has ever been resolved entirely through tribunal proceedings." "Tribunal chief Trivedi has appreciated the efforts of an amicable settlement to the dispute between two states. If you see history, no water dispute has been resolved through tribunal. In last six years till 2024, there has been no substantial development. Only one witness has been examined while many others are yet to appear before the tribunal. If the tribunal continues for 10 more years, then also there will be no end to it." According to the AG, it is better to resolve such kind of disputes though negotiations on political level. "The latest development is moving on a positive direction. The same party is ruling Odisha and Chhattisgarh. The Centre may intervene and resolve the matter through negotiations," Acharya said. The AG informed that the central government and Union Home Minister have intervened in the matter. Union Jal Shakti Minister has also been contacted by Odisha government and the chief ministers of both the state are in favour of resolving the matter amicably. "We are optimistic that the disputes will be resolved amicably soon," he said. This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.

Supreme Court sets aside High Court order granting anticipatory bail on condition to resume conjugal life
The Supreme Court has set aside an order of the Jharkhand High Court which granted anticipatory bail to a man on a condition that he would resume conjugal life with his wife and maintain her with dignity and honour. A bench of Justices Dipankar Datta and Augustine George Masih noted that the man was an accused in a case registered under various sections of the erstwhile Indian Penal Code and under the Dowry Prohibition Act, 1961. 'While considering the application for pre-arrest bail of the appellant, the court ought to have assessed whether the discretionary relief sought by the appellant for pre-arrest bail deserved to be granted within the settled parameters… but a condition such as the one impugned before us ought not to have been imposed in view of several decisions of this court,' the bench said in its July 29 order. It said the high court should have considered the prayer for pre-arrest bail entirely on its own merit instead of imposing a condition, which is not traceable to section 438(2) of the erstwhile Code of Criminal Procedure. The apex court passed the order on a plea challenging a February 2025 order of the high court which had granted the prayer for pre-arrest bail on condition that the man resumes conjugal life with his wife and maintains her with dignity and honour as his lawful wife. During the hearing before the top court, the counsel appearing for the woman stated that the man, along with her, had jointly submitted to the high court that he was willing to resume his conjugal life. The lawyer contended that the man cannot now turn around and take a different stand. The bench said the counsel was partly right in the sense that the man had indeed agreed to resume conjugal life. 'However, the respondent no.2 (woman) insisted for imposition of a further condition to which we do not find the appellant (man) to have agreed. The spouses seemingly, at one point of time, had drifted apart and resided separately for some time. Imposing a condition that the appellant would maintain the respondent no.2 with dignity and honour is beset with risk in that it can generate further litigation,' the bench said. It said an application for cancellation of bail on the ground that such condition has not been complied with, if filed later, is bound to meet opposition from the man and could place the high court in further difficulty. 'The impugned judgment and order, accordingly, stands set aside. The appeal is allowed,' the bench said. It restored the anticipatory bail application on the file of the high court and asked it to decide it afresh on its own merits, as early as possible. The bench said that until the matter is finally decided by the high court, the interim protection granted to the man by the top court earlier would continue. In its interim direction passed earlier, the top court had said the man should not be arrested in connection with the case, subject to his joining the investigation as and when called upon to do so by the investigating officer.
