🇬🇧🇮🇷EX-UK SOLDIER ACCUSED OF IRAN SPYING DENIES SUPPORT FOR TEHRAN

Daniel Abed Khalife faces charges of passing sensitive UK information to people connected to Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps and allegedly escaping prison.

Prosecutors say Khalife gathered intelligence between 2019-2022, left a fake bomb at his barracks, and sought to act as a “double agent.”

Khalife claims his actions aimed to benefit UK security and denies supporting Iran, stating his family’s hostility toward its government.

The trial at Woolwich Crown Court continues.
