Three alleged Iranian spies plotted to ‘eliminate’ journalists in the UK and targeted a barrister linked to Israel on behalf of Tehran, a court has heard.
London-based Mostafa Sepahvand, 41, Farhad Javadi Manesh, 46, and Shapoor Noori, 57, allegedly used Chat GPT to help conduct research and then engaged in surveillance and reconnaissance.
Sepahvand was prepared to act as a hit man, who would conduct ‘serious violence’ as ‘retribution’ for their criticism of the Iranian regime, Woolwich Crown Court was told.
