The two were hanged in the city`s central prison after their requests for a pardon were rejected, the report added.
The hangings bring to 243 the number of executions in Iran so far this year, according to an AFP tally based on media and official reports.
Human Rights Watch counted 388 executions in Iran in 2010. Amnesty International put the figure at 252, ranking the Islamic republic second only to China in the number of people put to death last year.
Tehran says the death penalty is essential to maintain law and order, and that it is applied only after exhaustive judicial proceedings.
Murder, rape, armed robbery, drug trafficking and adultery are among the crimes punishable by death in Iran. (*)
