Parliament spies have sounded the alarm about Iran becoming a major headache for Britain. The intelligence watchdogs just finished a massive investigation into Iranian dirty tricks on British soil. They found out that Iran has been plotting against people who oppose their government right here in the UK. The committee that keeps tabs on MI5, MI6 and GCHQ says these threats are getting worse fast. Lord Beamish, who runs the committee, warns that Iran will take big risks to hurt British interests.

The report reveals that Iranian spies have loads of money and resources to cause trouble. They are involved in assassinations, kidnapping plots, cyber attacks and building nuclear weapons. British officials have been playing catch-up instead of getting ahead of the problem. The committee blasts the government for just putting out fires rather than planning ahead. They say Iran might not be as big a threat as Russia or China but it is definitely unpredictable.

The MPs finished gathering evidence back in August 2023 and sent their findings to Prime Minister Keir Starmer in March. The spy agencies got to check the report and black out any secrets before it went public. The government has two months to respond to all the criticism. The committee wants more money and better long-term planning to deal with Iranian threats.
