WILD Bodycam Footage Captures Arrest of Men Found Guilty of Assisting Iranian Intelligence in UK

What did you think?

The targets were journalists. Prosecutors say two Iranian men spied on staff at Iran International, a network critical of Tehran's government, on behalf of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, according to the New York Post.

The Post's upload shows Metropolitan Police bodycam footage of the men's arrests. In the first sequence, officers restrain a man on the floor as he repeatedly asks who they are. The clip then cuts to armed officers entering another residence and finding a second man in bed. An officer tells him he is being arrested under the National Security Act.

The footage is credited to the Metropolitan Police via Reuters. It shows the arrests, not the surveillance operation or the evidence presented in court.

According to the Post's report, both men were convicted of spying on the journalists, with one also convicted in connection with a plot to attack his targets. The report describes these as the first convictions of Iranian nationals under Britain's National Security Act, legislation introduced to strengthen protections against espionage and foreign interference.

The Short drew about 200,000 views in its first 12 hours, already far beyond the Post's usual full-day audience for that format. Its focus is the police operation: two arrest sequences, each followed by a mugshot.
