Three alleged Iranian spies have appeared in court charged with targeting UK-based journalists so that "serious violence" could be inflicted on them.
Mostafa Sepahvand, 39, Farhad Javadi Manesh, 44, and Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori, 55, all from London, appeared in custody at Westminster Magistrates' Court.
They are accused of targeting individual journalists working for Iran International, an independent media organisation based in London.
The three defendants were granted temporary leave to remain in the UK after claiming asylum. They arrived in the UK, including by small boats, between 2016 and 2022. Mr Sepahvand arrived in 2016 concealed in a lorry.
The three men are charged with committing offences under the National Security Act between 2024 and this year. They were arrested two weeks ago.
They are charged with engaging in conduct likely to assist a foreign intelligence service, namely that of Iran, in carrying out UK-related activities and knew or ought to have reasonably known their conduct was likely to assist a foreign intelligence service.
"Iran must be held to account for its actions," Home Secretary Yvette Cooper said in a statement following Saturday's charges.
She added: "We must also strengthen our powers to protect our national security as we will not tolerate growing state threats on our soil."
Mr Sepahvand, of St John's Wood, London is also charged with engaging in surveillance, reconnaissance and open-source research with the intention of committing serious violence against a person in the UK.
Mr Manesh, of Kensal Rise, London and Mr Noori, of Ealing, London are also charged with engaging in surveillance and reconnaissance with the intention that serious violence against a person in the UK would be committed by others.
A fourth man, 31, was arrested on 9 May as part of the investigation but was released without charge on Thursday, police said.
It is alleged the three men carried out surveillance with a view to locating journalists associated with Iran International.
Iran International produces coverage that is critical of the current regime in Iran and has been proscribed in Iran as a terrorist organisation.
The three defendants appeared in the dock wearing grey tracksuits flanked by eight guards. Mr Sepahvand was in a wheelchair.
No pleas were indicated by the men. District Judge Annabel Pilling remanded them in custody to appear the Old Bailey on 6 June.
Cdr Dominic Murphy, from the Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command, said the "extremely serious" charges made on Saturday come follow "a very complex and fast-moving investigation".
He said detectives had been "working around the clock" since the men were arrested, and added that officers had been "in contact with the individuals directly affected".
Frank Ferguson, head of the CPS special crime and counter terrorism division, said: "It is extremely important that there should be no reporting, commentary or sharing of information online which could in any way prejudice these proceedings."
The arrest of the three men on 3 May came on the same day that five other Iranian men were detained in London, Stockport, Rochdale and Manchester by police as part of a separate counter-terrorism investigation.
One of those men was later released on bail until an unspecified date in May, while police obtained further detention orders for the four others until Saturday.
Cdr Dominic Murphy previously stressed that police were not treating the two investigations as linked.
 
They seem to know who did it. And they say one person was killed but they are unidentified at present. So my assumption is the uid dead person was the bomber and all that is left is debris and the axle of the car.

Fatal bombing near Palm Spring fertility clinic 'act of terrorism' - FBI

One person was killed and four injured in Saturday's explosion outside the American Reproductive Centers.

A bomb explosion outside a California fertility clinic has killed one person and injured four others in an "intentional act of terrorism", FBI officials have said.
The blast happened just before 11:00 local time (19:00 BST) less than a mile from downtown Palm Springs, near several businesses including the American Reproductive Centers (ARC). The clinic said no-one from the facility was harmed.
The FBI later said it had "a person of interest" in its investigation, but officers were "not actively searching" for the suspect.
Michael Beaumier, a witness, said he was knocked off his bike by the blast. "It was that big of an explosion and I could hear windows shattering all around me," he said.
Rhino Williams, who was at his restaurant nearby, told the BBC he initially thought the explosion was a plane or helicopter crashing.
He said he ran to the scene to see if he could help, finding a badly damaged building with walls blown out and the front axle of a car on fire in the car park.
"That's all that was left of it," Mr Williams said. He also saw an iPhone on a tripod still standing in the car park, as if it was set to film or stream the explosion.
Mr Williams said he rushed through the building shouting for any injured people - but did not find any. A few minutes later first responders arrived.
Nima Tabrizi, another witness, said he heard a "big boom", a large cloud of smoke and the front of the clinic "completely blown out".
The FBI said in a Saturday briefing that it was a deliberate attack.
"This was an intentional act of terrorism. As our investigation will unfold we will determine if it's international terrorism or domestic terrorism," said Akil Davis, the head of the FBI's Los Angeles field office.
Palm Springs police chief Andy Mills said the blast damaged several buildings, some severely.
He added that the identity of the person who was killed was not known.
The ARC in Palm Springs said the explosion occurred in the car park near its building.
Palm Springs Mayor Ron De Harte told BBC's US partner CBS News that the source of the explosion "was in or near the vehicle".
The fertility clinic said their lab, including all eggs and embryos, remained "fully secure and undamaged".
"We are heavily conducting a complete safety inspection and have confirmed that our operations and sensitive medical areas were not impacted by the blast," the clinic said in its statement.
But Dr Maher Abdallah, who runs the clinic, told the Associated Press that the clinic's office was damaged.
"I really have no clue what happened," he said. "Thank God today happened to be a day that we have no patients."
According to its website, the ARC clinic is the first full-service fertility centre and in vitro fertilisation lab (IVF) in the Coachella Valley.
It offers services including fertility evaluations, IVF, egg donation and freezing, reproductive support for same-sex couples and surrogacy.
California Governor Gavin Newsom said the state was co-ordinating with local and federal authorities, while US Attorney General Pam Bondi said she had been briefed on the incident.
 


• Two Israeli Embassy staff members were killed in a shooting outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, DC, where the American Jewish Committee was hosting an event on Wednesday night.
• The man and woman killed, identified as Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Milgrim, were a “young couple about to be engaged,” according to Israel’s ambassador to the US.
• The sole suspect was identified as 30-year-old Elias Rodriguez from Chicago, who chanted “Free Free Palestine” while in custody, police said. Eyewitnesses told CNN the suspected shooter waited for police to arrive before saying he “did it for Gaza.”
• President Donald Trump said antisemitism, “hatred and Radicalism have no place in the USA.” Attorney General Pam Bondi said she spoke with Trump multiple times and that federal agencies will “work hand-in-hand” with DC authorities to do “everything we can to keep our citizens safe.”

I'm interested enough for a thread.

Talk about confusing. I went into the link and there was a video of a father having lost a daughter at university and I watch it but it is Cali not WI. Then I read the article which has very little about the WI one. At first I thought they were one and same but I guess were not. Very confusing.

Two women just having achieved their dreams, NUTS to take a life and one's own life. Makes little sense to me.

Read the entire last section of the article and even highlighted in the article.

Rape Case​

In February 2018, Rogers police used DNA evidence from the murder arrest to link Hardin to the 1997 rape of a Rogers school teacher.
The teacher told police she had left her classroom to use the restroom when she was approached by a man disguised with a knit stocking and sunglasses and carrying a pistol. The man raped her, and then quickly fled the scene.
The teacher was able to give a description of the suspect, and a police sketch was made. For the next 20 years, the case was unsolved. Rogers Police asked for the public’s help finding the suspect, and the TNT series Cold Justice: Sex Crimes featured a 2015 episode on the case.
