A British teenager pleads guilty over an arson attack at offices linked to television station Iran International in northwest London earlier this year.
Nathan Dunn, 19, pleads guilty to a charge of “arson being reckless as to whether life is endangered” at London’s Old Bailey over the incident in April in which an ignited container was thrown towards premises belonging to Volant Media, the parent company of the London-based broadcaster.
The device landed in a car park and the fire extinguished itself, causing no damage or injuries.
Dunn had originally been charged alongside a 21-year-old man and a 16-year-old boy, who cannot be identified because of his age.
Iran International, a broadcaster critical of Iran’s government, said at the time that a suspicious vehicle had been denied entry to its London site shortly before the incendiary device was thrown.

As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
