Two men from Romania are sentenced to prison in London over a knife attack on Iranian TV journalist Pouria Zeraati, according to multiple reports. Zeraati, who worked for Iran International, a Persian-language channel critical of the Tehran regime, is stabbed three times outside his home in Wimbledon, southwest London, in 2024. The court hears the attack is carried out “on behalf of” Iran’s state. The BBC reports the two men receive sentences of 12 years and eight years. The Guardian says a judge finds evidence indicating the stabbing was a targeted act carried out for the Tehran regime, describing Zeraati as the victim of a targeted knife attack outside his home. Financial Times coverage similarly states the men are convicted in connection with stabbing Zeraati on a Wimbledon street. Other outlets referenced in the collected summaries describe the men as being recruited by Iran, framing the case as Iran-directed violence carried out in London.
