UK summons Iran envoy over charges against men accused of spying
The UK government said on Monday the Iranian ambassador to the United Kingdom has been summoned to the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office following the recent charging of two individuals—one an Iranian national and the other a British-Iranian dual national.
Last week, two Iranian men, Nematollah Shahsavani, 40, and Alireza Farasati, 22, appeared in court accused of conducting hostile surveillance of Jewish targets in London on behalf of the Iranian Intelligence Service (IIS).
