UK faces rising and unpredictable threat by Iran, report warns
UNITED KINGDOM, JUL 10 – The report details at least 15 assassination or kidnapping attempts against UK residents since 2022 and warns Iran poses a persistent, unpredictable threat to national security.
- In August 2023, the UK Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee published a report revealing that since early 2022, there have been at least 15 uncovered plots aimed at threatening, abducting, or assassinating people within the United Kingdom.
- This threat arises amid Iran's high appetite for risk and well-resourced intelligence services, while the UK government has focused mainly on crisis management around Iran’s nuclear program.
- The report detailed that Iran conducts state-sponsored assassinations, kidnappings, espionage, and cyberattacks, with growing hostility targeting dissidents, Israeli interests, and regime opponents in the UK.
- Lord Beamish emphasized that Iran represents a broad, ongoing, and uncertain danger to the UK, its citizens, and its interests, while the UK’s Homeland Security Group has assessed that the physical threat Iran poses is comparable in severity to that from Russia.
- The report urged the UK government to escalate measures, including possible proscription of the IRGC, to clearly signal to Tehran that such hostile acts would be met with appropriate responses.
