Two British-Iranian journalists working in the United Kingdom have been warned by police of a “credible” plot by Iran to kill them, according to their employer, London-based news channel Iran International.In a statement Monday, the Farsi-language broadcaster said it was “shocked and deeply concerned” by the alleged lethal threats, while accusing Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) of being part of a “significant and dangerous escalation” of Tehran’s “campaign to intimidate Iranian journalists working abroad.”“Two of our British-Iranian journalists have, in recent days, been notified of an increase in the threats to them,” Iran International said in the statement.“The Metropolitan Police have now formally notified both journalists that these threats represent an imminent, credible and significant risk to their lives and those of their families.”Iran International did not name the journalists for security reasons.“The International Network has been recognized as a terrorist organization by Iran’s security apparatus and its operatives will be wanted by the Ministry of Information, and from now on, any kind of connection with this terrorist organization will be considered as entering the terrorist domain and threatening national security,” the ministry said, according to ISNA.Meanwhile, in a Twitter post Tuesday, Kurdish human rights group Hengaw Organization for Human Rights said the IRGC “has increased its threats against Hengaw members in recent days,” following the death of a Kurdish Iranian woman that sparked a wave of protests in the country on Sunday."
