Since 2022, at least 15 plots have been disrupted, targeting dissidents, dual nationals and Israeli-linked individuals. The ISC said Iran's intelligence services are "ferociously well-resourced" and pose the most serious physical state-level threat to the UK.

The UK faces a "rising" and unpredictable threat from Iran, according to a new report that highlights an increase in assassination attempts.

An official report warned that Iran was targeting dissidents and gathering intelligence on Jewish and Israeli targets in Britain.
