Iran International journalist Pouria Zeraati is recovering in hospital after being attacked on Friday.
Tehran’s revolutionary guards have been targeting broadcaster Iran International, a spokesman said after a leading journalist was stabbed in London.
The Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps has been targeting journalists and their families, Mr Baillie said. “But for him as a leading presenter, as with our other presenters and journalists, yes, it is a great shock.Asked what he believed lay behind the attack, Mr Baillie told BBC Radio 4’s Today: “We can’t say. The fact that counter-terrorism is leading the investigation probably speaks for itself.
In January, the Foreign Office announced sanctions against members of the IRGC’s Unit 840 following an ITV investigation into plots to assassinate two of Iran International’s presenters in the UK.
