London police: Attackers of UK-based dissident Iranian journalist fled the country
[IsraelTimes] Presenter on news channel that had gotten ’state-backed threats from Iran’ was stabbed near his home; Tehran denies connection

British counterterrorism police investigating the stabbing of a journalist who works for a TV channel critical of the Iranian government said on Tuesday that three suspects had fled the country within hours of the attack.

Pouria Zeraati, a presenter at London-based Iran
...a theocratic Shiite state divided among the Medes, the Persians, and the (Arab) Elamites. Formerly a fairly civilized nation ruled by a Shah, it became a victim of Islamic revolution in 1979. The nation is today noted for spontaneously taking over other countries' embassies, maintaining whorehouses run by clergymen, involvement in international drug trafficking, and financing sock puppet militias to extend the regime's influence. The word Iran is a cognate form of Aryan. The abbreviation IRGC is the same idea as Stürmabteilung (or SA). The term Supreme Guide is a the modern version form of either Duce or Führer or maybe both. They hate Jews Zionists Jews. Their economy is based on the production of oil and vitriol...
International, was stabbed in the leg Friday afternoon outside his home in London. Police said Zeraati, who has been released from a hospital, was attacked by two men who fled in a car driven by a third man.

"We have established that after abandoning the vehicle, the suspects traveled to Heathrow Airport and have left the UK,’’ Commander Dominic Murphy, head of the Metropolitan Police Counter Terrorism Command, said in a statement late Tuesday. "We are now working with international partners to establish further details.’’

Police said that while the motivation for the attack is still unclear, Zeraati’s occupation, together with recent threats to UK-based Iranian journalists, triggered a counterterrorism investigation. Iran International, a satellite news channel that broadcasts in Farsi, has previously received threats due to its coverage of Iran.

Mehdi Hosseini Matin, Iran’s charge d’affaires in the UK, has said "we deny any link" to the incident.

The police says it has disrupted "a number" of plots to kill or kidnap people in the UK who were seen as enemies of the Iranian government. Officers are working with intelligence agencies to disrupt future plots and provide protection for the targeted organizations and individuals, police said.

The UK government in 2023 unveiled a tougher sanctions regime against Iran over alleged human rights
...which are often intentionally defined so widely as to be meaningless...
violations and hostile actions against its opponents on UK soil.

Early last year, Iran International temporarily shut down its operations in London and moved to studios in Washington, DC, after what it described as an escalation of "state-backed threats from Iran," which has declared it a terrorist organization. The station resumed operations at a new location in London last September.
