Iran Is Using Foreign Criminals to Attack Its Critics Overseas

Iranian dissident Pouria Zeraati, a London-based journalist for Iran International, faced years of harassment and threats from Iranian regime agents seeking to silence his critical coverage of the government. According to reports, Iran has been using foreign criminals to carry out attacks against its critics living overseas, with Zeraati receiving daily threats, surveillance, and warnings despite reporting the incidents to British police. The Iranian government views Iran International and its journalists as weapons in an information war against the regime.
