Two men have been jailed for a combined 20 years after carrying out a "targeted" knife attack on a journalist in London, an assault a judge concluded was orchestrated "on behalf of the Iranian state".

Romanian nationals Nandito Badea, 21, and George Stana, 25, were both convicted of wounding with intent to cause grievous bodily harm, despite denying the charges.
