An investigation is underway following the stabbing of Pouria Zeraati, a UK-based journalist for an independent Iranian media outlet, outside his London home. The attack, described as purposefully planned, led to Zeraati sustaining injuries and his subsequent hospitalization, from which he has now been released. Authorities have identified three suspects involved in the incident, who reportedly used an escape car to flee the scene. The vehicle was later found abandoned three miles from the location of the attack. According to the Metropolitan Police and Counter Terrorism Command, the suspects managed to leave the UK within a few hours of the attack, traveling to Heathrow Airport. Efforts are now being made to work with international partners to further track down the suspects, indicating a global manhunt is in progress.
