LONDON, 17 November 2022, (TON): The head of Britain’s domestic spy agency said “Iran’s intelligence services have tried on at least 10 occasions to kidnap or even kill British nationals or individuals based in the United Kingdom regarded by Tehran as a threat.”
Ken McCallum, Director General of the Security Service known as MI5, said while at home Tehran was using violence to silence critics, its aggressive intelligence services were also projecting a threat to Britain directly.
McCallum said “at its sharpest this includes ambitions to kidnap or even kill British or UK-based individuals perceived as enemies of the regime.”
“We have seen at least ten such potential threats since January alone.”
