Iran reportedly executes California man amid ongoing execution spree: ‘Murdered by the regime’

Join Fox News for exclusive access to premium content, including the story of journalist Jamshid Sharmahd’s reported execution in Iran. Sharmahd, a California resident and harsh critic of the Iranian regime, was allegedly killed on Monday. His daughter, Gazelle, expressed disbelief at the accusations against her father and emphasized his ties to the United States. The Levinson Act, named after another American held captive in Iran, defines a “United States national” as a lawful permanent resident with significant U.S. connections. The Biden administration faced backlash for not doing more to help Sharmahd, who holds German citizenship. Critics urge global action to hold Iran accountable for human rights abuses. Amnesty International and others have condemned Sharmahd’s unfair trial and treatment in Iranian custody. The U.S. State Department has been contacted for a response.
