Iran: National Security

Asked by Dr Neil Shastri-HurstConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 6 September 2024UIN 3537

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the levels of Iranian-based activity in the UK.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The Government does not routinely comment on the detail of operational matters or specific threats. But the UK will always stand up to threats from foreign states and this Government will always treat threats to the UK with the upmost seriousness.

In concert with partners, the UK Government will continue to use all tools at our disposal to protect the UK and its overseas interests against any threats from the Iranian state.
