MI5 warns of Iran’s attempts to kill or kidnap British or UK-based people

MI5 WARNING – There are new reports Iran has threatened to kill or kidnap at least 10 British or UK-based people this year.

As tensions between the two nations grow, there are renewed warnings.

Speaking to the media for his annual update on threats facing the UK, the head of MI5, Ken McCallum, warned of Iran’s “aggressive intelligence services.”

He also says the British public must be prepared to face Russian aggression for “years to come.”

But according to the spy chief, Russia has also suffered a strategic setback. This follows the mass expulsion of its intelligence agents right around the world amid its invasion of Ukraine.

McCallum warns the biggest shifts his service is seeing are threats posed by nations who are “not squeamish about the tactics they deploy.”

Iran has projected threats “directly” in the UK through its “aggressive intelligence services”, which include ambitions to kidnap or kill UK-based people.

McCallum says “no one should be under any illusion about the breadth and variety” of threats in 2022.
