Three Iranians deny spying charges in UK security trial

Mostafa Sepahvand, 41, Farhad Javadi Manesh, 46, and Shapoor Qalehali Khani Noori, 57, deny charges under the National Security Act — Britain's law against hostile state activity — at Woolwich Crown Court. Prosecutors allege they carried out surveillance from August 2024 to March 2025 to help Iran's foreign intelligence service enable serious violence in the UK. The trial continues.
