Pouria Zeraati

Pouria Zeraati is a British journalist of Iranian origin who previously worked for Iran International, a Farsi-language dissident broadcaster. He is currently newsworthy due to a targeted knife attack he experienced in west London in 2024, where he was stabbed in the leg outside his home. Recent court proceedings revealed that two men, Nandito Badea and George Stana, were found guilty of involvement in this attack. The prosecution stated that the attack was planned and ordered by a third party acting on behalf of the Iranian regime. This incident highlights ongoing concerns about the safety of journalists, particularly those critical of the Iranian government, and the potential for state-sponsored intimidation or violence against them abroad.
