Radicalism: Iran
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps the Government is taking to disrupt pro-Iranian regime groups spreading extremist narratives in the UK.
Answered by Dan Jarvis
I announced in my statement to the House on 4 March that we are reviewing where any Iranian interference is being conducted in the UK and that Iran has been specified on the Enhanced Tier of the Foreign Influence Registration Scheme (FIRS) under the National Security Act 2023. This specification of Iran will shine more light on any undisclosed relationships between the Iranian state and UK-based institutions and individuals.
In concert with partners, we will continue to use all the tools at our disposal to protect the UK, and its people, from any Iran-linked threats.
