It doesn't say if the men were Iranian or not but their names definitely aren't American/Israeli so you could be right. There isn't much known about them, their case, their trial, if there was one, or who they are. I tried doing a search for them and I come up with many facebook pages so I guess their names are fairly common either in Iran or the Middle East in general. Hell, there's even an Iranian soccer player by name of Mohammad Heidari but I doubt that's Israel's spy.
But death for treason isn't an uncommon punishment.edit on 19-5-2013 by Swills because: (no reason given)
I assure you that both names are pretty common in Iran. Again, the act of treason has maximum punishment (death) in every nation and cultures.

Yes hanging them is back wards. Better get with it Iran. Kid nap the spies and hold them in illegal camps and torture them. Much better that way and its a more modern way of doing things. I would leave the twats hanging there alive for days. Till thirst or what ever killed them.
London, May 22 - An internal memorandum of the Iranian Ministry of Intelligence and Security, known as MOIS or VEVAK, obtained by the Iranian oppositions sources in Iran and published in August 2002, identifies Mohammad Hossein Sobhani as a team leader and a veteran agent of VEVAK. Research into Sobhanis long years of service for the Iranian secret police and interviews with former VEVAK agents and active Iranian dissidents familiar with his case chart a tortuous path that throws light on the methods and tactics of an intelligence service that has become one of the worlds largest, and most feared, secret organizations.

You nailed it! That is what is wrong with our world. So many people just pick a side and no matter what the other side does it is ok.
I do not like everything my country does, and unfortunately, we the people have less control than foreignors would like to believe. I do however, love my country and most of its people. I love my world and most of its people.
Every country has spies. Britian, Australia, Germany, France, Iran, Iraq, all of them. So,if their spies are caught in our country and we give them a lethal injection I guarentee those that think this is OK on this thread would be screaming about how horrible Americans are.
There is nothing I hate more than a liar, except for someone with double standards.
I just keep singing what the world needs now is love sweet love over and over in my head...I do not know what else to do.

Death by hanging. Iran is old school and I wonder if they hung those men in a public square somewhere for all to watch? Iran is backwards like that. Whatever the case may be, if you're gonna spy on Iran for the West/Israel you better be getting paid big bucks because if and when they catch you there's no life in prison, you just die, and there's nothing your employers will do for you.
Iran is always on the look out for CIA/Mossad spies because they are always spying on them.

No just people who are fed up with America and Israel trying to force another war on a nation for no reason.

Backwards? US has death sentence too. Everything depends on countries laws. At least Iranian army didn't come to US and kidnapped innocent people and sent them to torture camp like US did in Middle East. At least they don't have secret prisons around the world to kidnap and torture and kill people they suspect to be spies.
I am against death sentence but i hate ignorance too.
