Full scale of Iran threat to UK revealed in new report

A parliamentary report warns that Iran is still attempting to assassinate dissidents in the UK. It highlights Tehran’s cyber attacks on British companies, positioning Iran as a major state threat alongside China and Russia.

The report, over 100 pages long and compiled over two years, includes insights from Iranian experts and classified documents. It’s expected to alert ministers to Iran’s ongoing influence and threats in the UK.

The Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) is shown to have a persistent reach here, with threats against dissidents singled out.

Concerns arise amid increased Middle Eastern tensions and the UK’s recent sanctions on Iranian officials linked to threats against journalists.
