A judge at the Old Bailey sentences George Stana to 12 years and Nandito Badea to eight years after concluding the March 2024 stabbing of Pouria Zeraati was ordered by the Iranian state.Prosecutors say the attackers repeatedly surveilled Pouria Zeraati's Wimbledon home, travelled to London to execute the assault, and were arrested in Romania and extradited to the UK in late 2024 while a third suspect faces separate proceedings in Romania.Ken McCallum, head of the
Security Service, tells lawmakers the service disrupted more than 20 lethal
Iran-backed plots and British authorities say the sentences underscore a commitment to pursue those who carry out violence at the direction of foreign powers.
