The decision came days after London police said an Austrian national had been charged with a terrorism offence after being detained in Chiswick Business Park, where Iran International's headquarters is located.
"We still have serious concerns for the safety of people working at this company," police counter-terrorism head Matt Jukes said.Iran International TV general manager Mahmood Enayat said the threat was not just to the station but "the British public at large,""A foreign state has caused such a significant threat to the British public on British soil that we have to move.
The broadcaster, which did not say whether the move to Washington was temporary or permanent, said threats had grown to the point where it felt it was no longer possible to protect its staff, and the general public. There was no immediate comment by Iranian officials on the channel's move and allegations of threats against it.

Last week the ABC ran a pro-globalisation story in which the author bemoaned Australia’s immigration intake & pointing to the UK which took 600K & god knows how many illegals. There was no acknowledgement that such immigration can & does lead to things like this.
It is ironic that the US is seen by authorities as safer than the UK. Both countries have weak border protection, but the US is at the Mexico border and mostly migrants and drug cartels. The UK was open to Europe, experts say the mecca for terrorist's outside of the Middle East.
