Britain seeks Cyprus's suspect in Iran espionage
London police requested the surrender of a man holding both British and Azerbaijani nationality, named Rshad Sultanov, who is suspected of spying on a British airbase in Cyprus for Iran and passing information to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard. Sultanov was arrested in Cyprus on July 17 following British investigative efforts that began in 2025. He had previously been detained in 2025 but was not extradited at that time. According to London's police, Sultanov is accused of monitoring the base on behalf of an enemy entity and transmitting secret information to Iran. This case occurs amidst heightened tensions between Britain and Iran, as the Iranian Revolutionary Guard recently threatened to attack British bases used by the United States, following a drone attack targeting Akrotiri Airbase in Marissa, which serves as a British military hub in Cyprus.
