The executions are the latest in a ‌series Iran has carried out ‌in ⁠recent months over the January ⁠protests, including of people accused of links to Israel and the U.S.

Hassan Dioband, ​Hamid Kazemi ‌and Reza Zanganeh were accused of using firearms, grenades and Molotov cocktails, setting fire to public facilities ‌and damaging an electricity ​substation in the city of Karaj, causing power outages in ⁠some areas, according to the judiciary.

The judiciary said Mr. Dioband was arrested ‌on January 11 after investigations identified him as a suspect in attacks on public property and incitement to violence.

Ten others accused of participating in the ‌unrest under his supervision were subsequently arrested.

The ​three were sentenced to death and ordered to have ⁠their assets confiscated. Their executions were carried ⁠out after the Supreme Court upheld their sentences, while ‌the other defendants received prison terms of 5 to 10 ​years.
