Iran Executes Man Convicted of Membership in Jaish al-Adl and Attacks on Security Forces

Iran executed Amer Ramesh, convicted of membership in the Sunni militant group Jaish al-Adl and involvement in attacks on security forces in the southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchestan. Arrested during a counterterrorism operation, Ramesh was charged with armed rebellion, including bombings and ambushes targeting military personnel. His death sentence was upheld by Iran's Supreme Court. Jaish al-Adl, designated a terrorist group by the US, operates in one of Iran's poorest regions, which has seen ongoing clashes between security forces and armed groups.
