Cyprus arrests British-Azerbaijani man for spying on RAF Akrotiri for Iran
Counter Terrorism Policing London led the investigation into Rashad Sultanov, a British and Azerbaijani citizen arrested in Cyprus. Cypriot authorities arrested Sultanov on suspicion of conducting hostile surveillance for the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps. The arrest occurred as Iran claimed responsibility for strikes on ships and a U.S. base. Sultanov is accused of monitoring activities at RAF Akrotiri, a critical hub for British military operations. Security officials believe the surveillance was directed by Tehran to identify vulnerabilities at the installation. This case marks a significant escalation in Iranian intelligence activities targeting British overseas territories.
