(National-UAE) Vigilance against threats from Iran has increased significantly despite sanctions being imposed, journalists threatened by Tehran have told the National.
Officials at the London-based Iran International TV channel, which has found itself in Tehran’s crosshairs, say they “have to be lucky all the time” to avoid violent attacks.
Security at the channel’s headquarters has been boosted, with counterterrorism police now in regular contact. The latest alert was raised hours before Britain imposed sanctions on senior Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps leaders on Monday, after US troops were attacked on the Syria-Jordan border, sources told the National.
Anti-Iranian dissidents in Britain have been warned by counterterrorism police that they face an increased risk of violence.
