UK police charge man over Iran-linked spying offences

British police say they have charged a 39-year-old man on suspicion of assisting a foreign intelligence service, and that the investigation is related to Iran.

The arrest comes amid heightened concerns about Iranian activities on UK soil.

Three Iranian nationals were similarly charged in May with suspected espionage for Iran’s intelligence services from August 2024 to February 2025.
