Ex-British Soldier Convicted for Spying for Iran Amidst Tensions

Former British soldier Daniel Khalife has been found guilty of spying for Iran, having collected and passed sensitive military information to Tehran. Khalife, who escaped from Wandsworth prison by hiding under a food delivery truck, was convicted under the Official Secrets Act and the Terrorism Act. His actions, which included gathering names of special forces soldiers, posed significant risks to UK national security. Khalife's escape and subsequent capture raised concerns about prison security and staffing. He faces a lengthy prison sentence, with sentencing scheduled for early next year.
