Commander Helen Flanagan, who leads Counter Terrorism Policing in London, announced that recent arrests signify a significant advancement in their ongoing investigation.
However, she highlighted that footage from surveillance cameras indicates the involvement of three individuals in the incident.
Authorities are currently investigating a claim of responsibility that surfaced on social media from a group named Harakat Ashab al-Yamin al-Islamia, which translates to the Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right.
The Israeli government has identified this group as a newly established entity with potential links to pro-Iranian networks, which has also been linked to attacks on synagogues in Belgium and the Netherlands.
Metropolitan Police Chief Mark Rowley stated that detectives are looking into the claim, but it remains premature to connect the attack directly to the Iranian state.
