Two Iranian nationals who arrived in the UK illegally have been found guilty of spying for their country in the first case of its kind.
Mostafa Sepahvand, 41, carried out surveillance and reconnaissance between August 2024 and March last year with the goal of inflicting violence on "subjects" in the UK.
Among his targets were Mojtaba Pourmohsen and Kambiz Hosseini, journalists for London-based Persian broadcaster Iran International, and Jonathan Turner, a founder member of UK Lawyers for Israel.
