The threat of physical attacks by Iran on people living in the UK has increased “significantly” since 2022, Parliament’s intelligence watchdog has warned.

In a report published on Thursday, Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee described the threat from Iran as “persistent” and “unpredictable”.

The committee found the “physical threat” from Iran had “significantly increased”, focused on Iranian dissidents and Jewish and Israeli interests, and was now “comparable with the threat posed by Russia”.

It also warned that the nuclear threat from Iran had increased since the US withdrew from a key international agreement in 2018, arguing that de-escalation “must be a priority”.

Lord Beamish, Chair of the Intelligence and Security Committee joins Andrew Marr to break down the situation.
