Iran’s nuclear threat to UK mainland revealed in bombshell new report

A report published on Monday by Parliament’s Intelligence and Security Committee described the threat from Iran as “persistent” and “unpredictable”. The committee found the “physical threat” from Iranhad “significantly increased” and was now “comparable with the threat posed by Russia”. It also warned that the nuclear threat from Iran had increased since the US withdrew from a key international agreement in 2018, arguing that de-escalation “must be a priority”. In relation to Iran’s nuclear capabilities, the report said: “Iran proceeding with its nuclear weapons programme would pose a threat both to UK nationals in the region and to the UK mainland and to global security more broadly if it led to regional nuclear proliferation and exacerbated regional instability”.
