"Four men have been arrested on suspicion of spying on locations and individuals linked to the Jewish community in London for Iran. While the Metropolitan Police has not said the suspects were working for Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the military branch has a history of operating inside the UK."
"Just this week, Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey called for the UK Government to introduce emergency legislation to proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist organisation, arguing it is more desperate and dangerous than ever."
"Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said on Wednesday in the Commons that the UK is working 24/7 on dealing with any threats to this country. He added: We don't comment on proscription, but we have made the case that there needs to be legislation to deal with state-backed terrorist groups."
Four men have been arrested in London on suspicion of conducting surveillance on locations and individuals connected to the Jewish community, allegedly for Iran. While the Metropolitan Police have not explicitly confirmed involvement of Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC), the military branch has a documented history of operating within the UK. Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey has called for emergency legislation to proscribe the IRGC as a terrorist organization, characterizing it as increasingly desperate and dangerous. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer stated the UK government is working continuously to address threats to the country and is examining legislation to address state-backed terrorist groups. The IRGC, created to protect Iran's Islamic Republic, functions to prevent coups, suppress dissent, and defend government leadership.
