MI5 chief says Iran seeks to step up attacks on UK military sites
Ken McCallum said a suspected September plot targeting a US-run UK military airbase was “not unique,” and added Tehran-linked activity included arson and sabotage on Jewish sites.
Iran is trying to target military sites in the UK, and a suspected plot to attack a US-run military airbase in September was “not unique,” Britain’s MI5 chief Ken McCallum said on Tuesday, according to SCMP Economy.
McCallum said Tehran wants to intensify attacks in Britain beyond the traditional targets of Iranians opposed to the country’s Islamic authorities.
He added that the activity has included arson and sabotage attacks on Jewish sites carried out by Iranian proxies, Britain said.
