UK faces rising and unpredictable threat from Iran, report warns
The UK faces a rising and unpredictable threat from Iran, including physical threats against opponents of the Iranian regime, espionage, cyber attacks, and more, a report warns. The intelligence and security committee urges the government to take a longer-term approach and allocate more resources to counter the threat. Concerns over the increasing threats to UK nationals, dissidents, Jewish, and Israeli interests in the UK are highlighted in the report, which found at least 15 attempted murders or kidnappings since the beginning of 2022.
