Two Romanian men have been jailed in connection with the 2024 stabbing of Pouria Zeraati, a prominent host for Iran International, in London. The court determined that the evidence “overwhelmingly” indicated the Iranian government’s involvement in the attack. Zeraati, a vocal critic of the Iranian regime, was targeted due to his work. Authorities believe the attack was a politically motivated assassination attempt orchestrated by Tehran. A third suspect is currently facing criminal proceedings in Romania related to the case. The sentencing marks a significant development in the investigation and underscores concerns about Iran’s reach in targeting dissidents abroad. This incident highlights the dangers faced by journalists critical of the Iranian government.
