Two men accused of conducting hostile surveillance on behalf of Iran targeting the Israeli Embassy in London, Britain’s oldest synagogue and other Israeli or Jewish sites pleaded not guilty on Friday.

Nematollah Shahsavani, 41, a dual Iranian-British national, and Alireza Farasati, 22, an Iranian national, appeared before London’s Old Bailey court, where both denied one charge under the National Security Act.

The two men are accused of collecting information and carrying out reconnaissance in July and August 2025. They are scheduled to stand trial in April.
