TEHRAN, Aug. 19 (UPI) -- The Iranian government reportedly executed 30 people during the last month in an attempt to foil an alleged series of U.S.-backed plots in the region.

The Observer newspaper Sunday said 30 people have been hanged by the Tehran government during the last 30 days, mostly in public, as Iranian officials attempt to eradicate resistance throughout the country.

The executions came as the government also began to take action against academics and student activists who allegedly supported U.S.-backed efforts in Iran.
