Iranian Architect of UK Assassination Plots Killed in Bombings
8th March 2026
An architect of Iran’s assassination plots in Britain and elsewhere in the West has been killed in the bombardment of Tehran.
Yahya Hosseini Panjaki, an intelligence chief involved in co-ordinating overseas attacks, died in the first wave of Israeli airstrikes that also killed Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
MI5 has tracked nearly 50 Tehran-backed plots in the UK. On Friday armed counterterrorism officers arrested four men on suspicion of helping Iran’s intelligence services to spy on the Jewish community in London. Their arrests may have been expedited amid concerns that the US and Israeli military action against Iran could prompt supporters of the regime overseas to launch retaliatory attacks.
