Concerns of European intelligence services about the persistence of the Iranian threat in Europe
Western intelligence services are increasingly concerned about Iran's low-profile attacks in Europe, following a period of heightened tensions. The fear is that Iran may respond asymmetrically through espionage and sabotage. On October 12, 32 countries, including the UK, France, and the US, condemned Iran's violent actions, including assassination plots and cyberattacks. This collective statement followed an incident linked to Iranian services near a UK military base.
