Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee has released a report indicating that Iran has made at least fifteen attempts to assassinate or kidnap individuals in Britain, especially targeting Jewish people. The report highlights that the IRGC plays a significant role in these operations, which align with Iran's priorities of maintaining its regime and promoting Shia interests. There are concerns about the radicalization attempts of British university students by the IRGC through antisemitic propaganda. The report concludes that the threat from Tehran is serious and growing, comparable to that posed by Russia.
The report states: "When summarising Iran's approach to the UK, the Intelligence Community noted that Iran...represents a significant threat to Israeli and Jewish entities."
The report warned the "physical threat" from Tehran has "significantly increased" which is now "comparable with that posed by Russia."
Committee chairman Lord Beamish said: "Iran poses a wide-ranging, persistent and unpredictable threat to the UK, UK nationals and UK interests."
It's now urgent, given the conflict in Iran, that the Government moves to proscribe the IRGC, which is a terrorist organisation that represents a significant threat, including here in the UK.
