Counter-terror police are looking into whether the series of arson attacks against Jewish sites in north London have been carried out by Iranian proxies.

It comes after officers on “deterrence and reassurance patrols” in the wake of the previous incidents spotted damage to a window of Kenton United Synagogue, Harrow, at around midnight on Sunday.
