According to Channel 14 Israel, a British court has convicted Mostafa Sepahvand (41) and Farhad Javadi Manesh (46) of 'assisting a foreign intelligence service.' Reports indicate that the pair, acting under the direction of the IRGC, monitored journalists from Iran International, including Mojtaba Pourmohsen and Kambiz Hosseini, as well as Jonathan Turner of 'UK Lawyers for Israel.' Prosecutors stated that Sepahvand planned a violent attack against one of the targets and had requested £150,000 for the act. The defendants used ChatGPT to gather intelligence, including photos and personal details of their targets. Sepahvand's claim of coercion was rejected by the court. The sentencing is scheduled for December 17 at the Central Criminal Court of England and Wales.
