Iranian regime has hired criminal gangs to spy on British Jews as it plots to assassinate leading members of the community, UK Security Minister Tom Tugendhat disclosed recently.
The revelation came days after Tugendhat told UK parliament that Tehran was plotting to kill Israelis and Jews on British soil. “Between 2020 and 2022, Iran tried to collect intelligence on UK-based Israeli and Jewish individuals. We believe this information was a preparation for future lethal operations,” minister told the House of Commons.
In May 2022, Israel’s domestic security agency Shin Bet foiled an Iranian plot to kidnap Israeli academics, businessmen, and former defense officials in Europe. Last year, Israel’s intelligence agency Mossad also thwarted several Iranian attempts to assassinate Israeli diplomats, official and civilians abroad.
“Security minister: Criminals are tracking British Jews for Iran’s killing squads,” by David Rose, The Jewish Chronicle, February 23, 2023:
Iran is hiring organised criminals to spy on Britain’s Jews in preparation for a potential assassination campaign against prominent members of the community, Security Minister Tom Tugendhat told the JC.
Last week, we exposed how the regime is “mapping” Jews in the diaspora to lay the ground for high-profile revenge murders should Israel launch a military attack against the theocracy.
In response, the minister, who is responsible for MI5, said: “You were right. We have very clear intelligence about the activities of hostile regimes in the UK and we keep a very close eye on what their agents and those close to them are doing.
“We know that the Iranians are using non-traditional sources to carry out these operations, including organised criminal gangs.
“They are paying criminal gangs to conduct surveillance.
Basically, the Iranians are using crooks based in Britain to spy for them.”
He added: “You can be very clear that I wouldn’t have mentioned Jewish and Israeli targets unless I had good reason to do so.
“I take all threats against anyone in the UK very seriously and the reason I highlighted Israelis and the Jewish community is that we have been seeing threats and Iranian operational activity directed against them. I do not issue these warnings lightly.”
The Iranian threats are not limited to Jews and Israeli abroad. Iran recently unveiled a long-range cruise missile capable of reaching Israel. “Iran has developed a cruise missile with a range of 1,650 km (1,025 miles) a top Revolutionary Guards commander said on Friday,” Reuters wrote on February 25.
While President Joe Biden’s administration is relying on diplomacy to bring Iran into the fold of the Obama-era nuclear deal, the Shia-Islamic regime is busy amassing enriched uranium to build a bomb. UN nuclear inspectors “found traces of uranium enriched to near-weapons grade at a site connected to Iran’s nuclear programme,” the Times of London reported February 20.

I would like to know more about these criminal thugs who spy for Iran. And pressure must be put on the Biden administration and the countries of
Western Europe to do some economic damage to Iran that will make the regime
pay attention to what the US and the
others are asking, which seems to be
senseless attacks and war. 😈

The threats to British Jews are not restricted to Iranian assassins: British Jews need to be wary of all muslims on that island

No surprise there, these people have been spying on Jews and Christians who support their right to live, for many years. What’s coming ?

Open borders has its price. When you allow your enemy to infiltrate your country thru an immigration invasion you but your citizens at a high risk of being killed.
