British police say they are investigating whether a series of arson attacks on Jewish sites in London are the work of Iranian proxies. The Metropolitan Police force says counterterror officers are probing the attacks on synagogues and other sites linked to the Jewish community, as well as an attack on a Persian-language media company. No one has been injured in the blazes, the latest of which caused minor damage to a north London synagogue on Saturday night. The chief rabbi said British Jews are facing a campaign of violence and intimidation and Prime Minister Keir Starmer said he was appalled by the attacks.
