Iranian Agents Recruiting Britons for Anti-Israel Protests

Suspected Iranian operatives are attempting to recruit people in Britain to organise anti-Israel protests, according to a report that has intensified criticism of the Labour government’s response to Tehran.
The Times reported that an undercover journalist was offered money by a suspected Iranian agent to organise demonstrations in London and recruit others sympathetic to Tehran’s anti-Israel messaging.
Elsewhere across Europe, documents suggest officers from the terrorist Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) are also working in the EU under diplomatic cover, and that Tehran is hoping to expand covert operations further once its war with the U.S. and Israel is over.
