The porters do not open the packages because Iranian buyers will only accept unopened goods, BBC reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;Even if the Islamic Republic&#8217;s claim is true, and these porters were transporting equipment for Mossad, Mossad would never tell them that it is for an assassination. Mossad can hide explosives in a pager, so it certainly can hide it in cigarette or perfume boxes,&#8221; BBC cited a KRG security official as saying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">&#8220;We have no evidence that equipment has been smuggled from Kurdistan to Iran. Mossad has high-level influence in Iran and doesn&#8217;t need porters in border villages,&#8221; the official added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The three Kurds were alleged to have been transporting equipment used by Mossad to assassinate nuclear scientist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/inside-risky-shooting-orders-behind-191228336.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:Mohsen Fakhrizadeh;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Mohsen Fakhrizadeh<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"mb-4 text-lg font-bold\">Human rights organizations speak out against Iranian execution<\/h3>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Human rights organizations are concerned that the executions were an attempt to &#8220;terrorize the population&#8221; of Iran rather than to punish the actual perpetrators of any crimes, following Israel&#8217;s airstrikes in June.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The three Kurds were executed &#8220;without a fair trial and based on confessions extracted under torture,&#8221; BBC cited Director of Iran Human Rights, Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam as saying.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Activists also condemned the executions as &#8220;rushed and unjust.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.yahoo.com\/news\/articles\/family-kurd-executed-iran-deny-032133970.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iran&rsquo;s judiciary has executed Kurdish porters under charges including &ldquo;moharebeh&rdquo; (enmity against God), and &ldquo;efsad-e fel-arz&rdquo; (corruption on earth).
