Iran’s IRGC among biggest threats to UK national security: Suella BravermanLONDON: Iran has become one of the biggest threats to UK national security, the British home secretary warned on Sunday. “It’s a big issue because they are getting much more aggressive and their appetite is increasing,” the source said. Its former chairman, Mohammad Hussain Ataee, attended a conference in Tehran where he met Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the report added. The new powers allow British ministers to sanction individuals for activities within the UK, not just in Iran. “There is more and more evidence of the IRGC’s campaigns of transnational repression — we cannot afford not to act.”
