Iranian Journalist Stabbed in London Returns to Work, Undeterred

The attack, seen as a warning shot, prompts calls for a forceful UK response against Iran amid concerns for journalist safety.

  • Iranian journalist Pouria Zeraati, working for Iran International in London, was stabbed outside his home but has returned to work, emphasizing 'the show must go on'.
  • The attack is seen as a warning shot, with Zeraati stating the assailants chose not to kill him, indicating a possible motive related to his work.
  • British-Iranian journalist Sima Sabet, also with Iran International, calls for a forceful UK response against Iran, linking the attack to the Iranian government.
  • No arrests have been made, but suspects are believed to have fled the UK shortly after the attack. The Metropolitan Police do not consider them a risk to UK communities.
  • Iran International has faced previous threats, leading to increased security and a temporary relocation of its operations to Washington before returning to London.
