(Sky News) The threat of physical attacks by Iran on people living in the UK has increased “significantly” since 2022, according to a new report by parliament’s intelligence watchdog.
Iran poses a “wide-ranging, persistent and unpredictable threat” to the UK, according to the Intelligence and Security Committee.
It also said Iran’s intelligence services were “willing and able — often through third-party agents — to attempt assassination within the UK, and kidnap from the UK.”
The report said there have been 15 murder or kidnap attempts against British citizens or UK-based individuals since the beginning of 2022 [through] August 2023.
