He was rushed to the hospital with injuries, but is listed in \u201cstable condition,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n<p>The attack comes after Iran\u2019s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), which is a designated Foreign Terrorist Organization, has repeatedly threatened exiled Iranian dissidents for speaking out against the oppressive regime.<\/p>\n<p>Sima Sabet, who used to work for BBC and had a show on Iran International, said following the attack that the Metropolitan Police\u2019s Counter-Terrorism Unit \u201curged me to immediately leave my residence following a knife attack on @pouriazeraati, and stay elsewhere until further notice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/iran-offered-200000-to-assassinate-british-news-anchors-report\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">highlighted<\/a> how the IRGC tried to pay a criminal $200,000 last year to assassinate her and another one of her colleagues at the network.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast year, the Revolutionary Guards attempted to assassinate me and my former colleague @FardadFarahzad,\u201d she said. \u201cThey had detailed information about our residences and movements. A Western security service provided @itvnews with audio and video files in which a Quds Force commander ordered an individual to kill me and Farahzad with knife. Their plan to assassinate us was exposed and failed.

However, I must emphatically mention that the British government has not taken sufficient, meaningful, decisive, and effective political action against the terrorism of the Iranian government.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She expressed anger at the British government for failing to protect her and other exiled Iranians who are now British citizens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLondon is our home,\u201d she said. \u201cBritain must be a safe place for journalists across all media, and unsafe for extremists and terrorists receiving orders from Tehran.
