Iran Threats in UK ‘Significantly Increased’: Intelligence Watchdog
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 10 – The UK parliamentary committee reports at least 15 Iran-backed kidnapping or murder attempts since 2022 and warns the threat now matches that of Russia, urging stronger government action.
- On July 10, 2025, the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament published the 'Iran' report, a comprehensive threat assessment, while the Embassy of the Islamic Republic of Iran in London issued a 'categorical rejection of the unfounded, politically motivated and hostile allegations'.
- The committee asserted that Iran's threat to the UK has significantly increased, with at least 15 attempts to target UK-based individuals since 2022, as reported by Michael Holden, Reuters on July 10, 2025.
- According to MI5, it responded to 20 Iran-backed plots to kidnap or kill British nationals since January 2022, using criminal groups rather than Iranian nationals for covert operations.
- The statement also denounced the weaponization of baseless intelligence assessments, warning it could harm diplomatic relations and regional stability.
- The committee recommended examining proscription of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, to enhance UK security, according to the Intelligence and Security Committee.
