A report released by the UK Parliament's Intelligence and Security Committee on July 10, 2025, warns that Iran poses a significant and rising threat to the United Kingdom, with the level of physical attacks and assassination attempts now comparable to that posed by Russia. Since early 2022, Iran-backed operatives have attempted at least 15 kidnappings or killings targeting individuals in the UK, including prominent Jewish and Israeli figures, dissidents, and journalists. These operations are often carried out through proxy sleeper cells, criminal networks, and sometimes even teenagers. The threats encompass a wide range of activities, including espionage, cyberattacks, assassination plots, and efforts to develop nuclear weapons. British lawmakers emphasize that while Iran's threat is not on the same scale as Russia or China, it is increasing, and the UK government is not fully prepared to counter it. Additionally, senior British counter-terrorism and police officials have reported that alongside Russia and China, Iran is behind a growing number of life-threatening operations in the UK, including attacks and kidnappings, frequently using criminals and minors as proxies. Iran has rejected the allegations, describing them as hostile. The report highlights that these Iranian threats should be treated as attacks against the UK itself, underscoring the persistent, unpredictable, and wide-ranging nature of the danger posed by Tehran on British soil.
