Two arrested in London over suspected Iran-linked national security offenses
London's Metropolitan Police said the investigation into two suspects is linked to Iran but not to attacks targeting Jewish and Iranian communities earlier this year.
Two arrests have been made in London in connection with alleged National Security Act offenses tied to Iran, according to British police. The Metropolitan Police disclosed on Thursday that a 42-year-old woman and a 60-year-old man were apprehended on suspicion of aiding a foreign intelligence agency. Both suspects have been released on bail, with a hearing scheduled for late October.
It is important to note that the police emphasized the investigation is unrelated to a series of attacks on venues and buildings associated with Jewish and Iranian communities in London earlier this year. These incidents occurred between March and May, starting with an arson attack on Jewish community ambulances. Subsequent targets included a synagogue, another former synagogue, Persian-language media organization Iran International, and a memorial wall honoring individuals killed in Iran.
