Jaish al‑adl member executed after Chabahar arrest

Iran executed a man convicted of membership in the Sunni militant group Jaish al-Adl and of carrying out attacks on Iranian security forces. The execution was reported by the semi‑official Tasnim news agency and confirmed by Reuters on April 26, 2026. The individual had been arrested during an anti‑terror operation in the port city of Chabahar. This action follows Tehran's ongoing crackdown on the group, which has claimed responsibility for numerous attacks in the region.
