Two men have been charged under the UK’s National Security Act following an investigation into alleged espionage targeting London’s Jewish community. Nematollah Shahsavani, a dual British-Iranian national, and Alireza Farasati, an Iranian national, are accused of conducting reconnaissance of locations and individuals linked to the community on behalf of Iran’s intelligence services. The charges relate to activity in July and August 2025, with authorities describing the case as extremely serious. Counter-terrorist police have emphasised their commitment to protecting public safety, particularly for communities which may feel vulnerable or targeted. The Jewish community is being assured that decisive action is being taken and that any threats will be pursued relentlessly. Two other men arrested during the investigation were released without charge.
