Specialist counter-terrorism officers are now leading the investigation into the stabbing, the Metropolitan Police confirmed
An Iranian journalist who was stabbed outside his London home has shared a picture of himself smiling in his hospital bed.The journalist, who according to police is in a stable condition, posted the picture on X shows him making a ‘peace’ sign gesture while dressed in a hospital gown and surrounded by wires and medical equipment.
The Met said the motivation for the attack was not yet clear but the investigation is being investigated by specialist officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command because of his occupation and recent threats towards UK-based Iranian journalists. Iran’s charge d’affaires in the UK Mehdi Hosseini Matin said they “deny any link” to the incident involving Mr Zeraati.programme: “Iran International has been under threat, very heavy threats, for the last 18 months since the IRGC said ‘we’re coming for you’, which they have consistently repeated.”
Threats proved so serious that Iran International was forced to shut down its operation in London early last year due to what it called “state-backed threats”, before moving to studios in Washington DC, US. It returned to London in September.
