Debate

Ukraine and Wider Operational Update

Contribution

Thirdly, this is not just about international security but about the threats to British national security. Iran presents a persistent danger not only to security in the Middle East but to us here in the UK. It poses a significant espionage threat, it sustains an aggressive cyber attack campaign against us and, as our own Intelligence and Security Committee reported, since 2022 the Iranian regime has plotted at least 15 assassination or kidnap attempts on British soil.
