Three Iranians in UK charged after counter-terrorism investigation

Three Iranian men were arrested in the UK on charges tied to Iran's foreign intelligence activities. They had irregular stays between 2016 and 2022, including via unconventional transport methods. One man, traveling in a wheelchair, and another, using a cane, appeared before court through an interpreter. All face charges under the National Security Act, involving surveillance, reconnaissance, and open-source research aimed at causing violence in the UK. Another arrested individual later appeared without charges following his release.
