A London man has been arrested in Cyprus on suspicion of spying on a U.K. air force base on the Mediterranean island on behalf of Iran, British police said Friday.
London’s Metropolitan Police force said 44-year-old Rashad Sultanov, a U.K.-Azerbaijani national, is alleged to have conducted “hostile surveillance” of RAF Akrotiri and shared information with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. He was arrested July 17, and British police are seeking his extradition.
