A London court heard that men accused of spying for Iran exchanged information about Iran International's offices and a presenter, discussed money transfers with contacts in Iran, as part of an alleged operation against the London-based broadcaster. In a related case, two men pleaded not guilty to charges of surveilling the Israeli Embassy, Britain's oldest synagogue and other Jewish and Israeli-linked sites in London on behalf of Iran. The cases are part of a broader pattern of alleged Iranian intelligence activity in the UK targeting dissident media and Jewish institutions.
