MI5 chief says Iran targets UK military sites as threats rise
Ken McCallum, head of Britain's MI5 spy agency, warned on Tuesday that Tehran is targeting military installations in the United Kingdom.
Rising hybrid warfare risks identified
The security service has set up a new centre to assess these specific dangers. Intelligence head Ken McCallum stated that Iran seeks attacks beyond traditional targets opposed to Islamic authorities. He noted that the suspected plot against a US-run airbase last month was not an isolated incident.
Broader effort by Tehran confirmed
Threats now extend to intelligence facilities and other high-security locations across the nation. Reports indicate Iran is trying to intensify its operations within Britain significantly. This surge includes actions such as arson and sabotage carried out by proxies.
