(Iran International) A briefing prepared for MPs by the UK House of Commons Library said Iranian operatives had increasingly sought to carry out kidnappings, physical attacks and assassinations against dissidents and opponents in Britain.
The House of Commons Library provides research briefings based on past government and parliamentary findings to enable members to better understand complex policy issues.
“The greatest threat currently posed by Iran in the UK was the physical threat posed to dissidents and other opponents, a change from previous years when espionage was the primary threat,” the briefing cited the Intelligence and Security Committee of Parliament (ISC) as saying in a report in July.
