Two Romanian nationals have been convicted for the stabbing of Pouria Zeraati, a journalist who works for Iran International, a London-based television channel critical of the Iranian government.

Zeraati was attacked outside his home in London, sustaining three stab wounds to his leg. The incident occurred as part of what authorities described as a targeted assault on the journalist.

Iran International is a Persian-language satellite television channel that broadcasts content critical of Iran's government and has faced threats in the past. The channel operates from London and has been a vocal critic of Iranian policies.

The attack on Zeraati highlights ongoing concerns about the safety of Iranian opposition figures and journalists living abroad. UK authorities have previously warned about threats posed by Iranian agents to dissidents and media figures on British soil.

The two Romanian defendants were found guilty following a trial, though specific details about their sentences were not immediately available. The case underscores tensions between Iran and countries hosting Iranian opposition media outlets.
