(Iran International) The British government on Thursday said it was determined to frustrate what it called escalating Iranian threats to people on UK soil, citing cyberattacks and the use of criminal proxies to carry out attacks.
“The Government has long recognised there is a persistent and growing physical threat to people posed by Iran to the UK. Direct action against UK targets has substantially increased over recent years,” the government wrote.
The report came in the form of point-by-point responses to a July 10 Parliamentary Intelligence and Security Committee [report] on Iran which said Iran poses one of the gravest state-based threats to British national security, on par [with] those from Russia and China.
