Iran has reportedly commissioned criminal networks in Eastern Europe and Canada to attack targets throughout the West and Middle East.
Iran hired Eastern European criminals to attack Iran International journalist Pouria Zeraati, the Washington Post reported on Thursday.
Zeraati was stabbed four times in March and left bleeding on a sidewalk.
British investigators told the Washington Post that the attackers had not been from Iran and had no discernible connection to its security services.
The attackers had reportedly been criminals hired from Eastern Europe who faced few barriers to entering Britain via Heathrow Airport in the days before the attack - and flying out just hours after the stabbing.
