Iranian Terror Suspects May Have Targeted Jewish Civilians in UK
7th May 2025
Oh, ya think?
British counter-terror police arrested five men, including four Iranian nationals, on Saturday, fearing that an attack on a “specific premises” was imminent. Speculation has since mounted—including within the establishment press—that the target may have been a synagogue or another specifically Jewish establishment.
Three other Iranian nationals were later arrested as part of a separate operation, with counter-terror police reportedly fearing that these men would attempt to either leave the UK or destroy evidence following the earlier arrests.
One of the suspected terrorists accused of plotting an attack is also claimed to be “very well-connected” to the Hamas-backing regime in Tehran.
Responding to reports, Britain’s Campaign Against Antisemitism charity criticised the Labour government for doing “nothing to proscribe Iran’s [Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps] IRGC, which sponsors terrorism around the world and is known to be active in the UK.”
