Two Iranians found guilty of spying in the UK

Two Iranian men have been convicted of spying for an Iranian intelligence service by carrying out surveillance on journalists and a lawyer in the UK.
Mostafa Sepahvand, 41, and Farhad Javadi Manesh, 46, were convicted of "assisting a foreign intelligence service" at Woolwich Crown Court on Thursday.
They were tasked by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) with monitoring the targets. Sepahvand intended to carry out a "violent attack" against at least one of them, while Manesh helped with planning.
A third man, Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori, 57, was cleared of the same charge.
Sepahvand was in contact with two men with Iranian telephone numbers.
Police seized 534GB of data that showed Sapahvand and Manesh were given documents that included pictures of targets, their work addresses, the make and colour of their cars and the names of pets. They then used ChatGPT to carry out further research.
The pair, from west London, are asylum seekers who had been granted temporary leave to remain. Sepahvand arrived in the UK in a lorry in 2016, and Manesh arrived via small boat in 2019.
Sepahvand conducted surveillance and reconnaissance in preparation for inflicting violence on several "subjects" in the UK.
These included journalists Mojtaba Pourmohsen and Kambiz Hosseini, who worked for the London-based Persian broadcaster Iran international, Jonathan Turner, a founding member of UK Lawyers for Israel, as well as a media production professional.

Whoever has that guy by the nuts should let him go. So now they'll get a house, couple thousand bucks a month and free medical care...ohhhh....and a slap on the wrist, gently along with an apology.
