Britain has demanded that Tehran halt what foreign minister James Cleverly has called a “politically motivated” execution. Akbari had also been an “advisor to the commander of the navy” as well as “heading a division at the defence ministry’s research centre”. Akbari, a veteran of the Iran-Iraq war that raged from 1980-1988, was arrested sometime between March 2019 and March 2020, state media said.
In early December, Iran executed four people accused of working with Israeli intelligence, Mizan said at the time.
