About this analysis

Haaretz runs a short Reuters item reporting that two Iranian men were found guilty in the UK of spying on dissident journalists for Iran's Revolutionary Guards. The text supplied is mostly page furniture and carries only the opening sentence, which matches the headline and the other coverage of the verdict. Nothing in it misleads.

What it gets right

“a case British police said reflected increasing hostile activity by Iran”
Reuters, as carried by Haaretz, attributes the wider claim about rising Iranian hostile activity to British police. It does not state it in the outlet's own voice, and keeps it apart from the court's verdict.
“Two Iranian men were found guilty on Thursday of spying on dissident journalists in the U.K.”
It reports the court outcome as a verdict, with the date and the targets, in line with the BBC, Times of Israel and Al Jazeera reports of the same trial.
