"Investigators have theorised that Iran may have recruited so-called useful idiots through online criminal networks, and paid them in cryptocurrency to commit the attack."
"The group, which has possible links to the Iranian state, made the claim on its Telegram channel, having also claimed responsibility for recent incidents in Europe."
"The leading hypothesis is that the attack was directed by Iran, while detectives have not ruled out far-right extremists or far-left anti-war activists."
"Commander Helen Flanagan stated that although the two men have been released from police custody, there are strict bail conditions in place while the investigation continues."
Police are investigating the arson attack on four Jewish ambulances in north London, suspecting Iranian involvement through proxy operatives. The attack occurred at 1.35am, and investigators theorize that Iran may have used online criminal networks to recruit individuals, compensating them with cryptocurrency. The group Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamiya claimed responsibility, potentially linked to Iran. While the primary hypothesis points to Iran, authorities are also considering far-right and far-left extremist involvement. The investigation continues as police track the individuals responsible for the arson.
