An Iranian terror group is reportedly recruiting in the UK, using cultural centers and mosques to target dissidents and plot assassinations. This was revealed during a government committee meeting, highlighting the group's infiltration and threats against Iranian exiles. MI5 has thwarted 20 assassination attempts linked to the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC). A dissident testified about the serious risks faced by Iranians in the UK, emphasizing the need for stronger measures against the IRGC and its activities. The UK government has placed Iran on a new foreign influence registration scheme, acknowledging increased threats from Tehran. However, the scheme will not ban the IRGC, and its full implementation is still pending.
