British authorities have arrested four men suspected of carrying out espionage activities linked to Iran, according to police and security officials.
The arrests were made during coordinated operations by counter-terrorism officers across several locations in the United Kingdom. Investigators believe the suspects may have been gathering information and conducting surveillance linked to Iranian interests.
Authorities said the investigation is being handled under national security laws. Officials did not immediately provide full details about the alleged activities but confirmed that the arrests were part of a broader probe into foreign espionage threats.
Security services in Britain have increasingly warned about attempts by foreign states to conduct intelligence operations or intimidation campaigns on British soil. Police said the investigation is ongoing and that further inquiries are being carried out as part of the national security case.
