Yesterday, Sir Ken McCallum, Director General of MI5, highlighted the security concerns of Islamist terrorism to Britain during a conference speech.
He described Iran as a major security threat, with Iran-linked having led to more than fifty arrests in the UK over the last 12 months.
Sir Ken highlighted the threats to UK military sites from the Iranian regime and its military arm, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, citing the direct threat to RAF Fairford in Gloucestershire, from where US bombers have carried out raids against Iran.
But Sir Ken issued a clear warning to would-be plotters and attackers, saying, “Those who seek to cause mayhem on British streets – whether hired thugs here or their paymasters overseas – will meet an unflinching response.”
