UK police: Iran hiring criminals for sabotage

British counter-terrorism police assess that Iran is actively recruiting criminals within the United Kingdom to conduct sabotage and terror-related activities, according to a report by The Telegraph. This intelligence suggests a direct Iranian effort to orchestrate attacks on British soil using local operatives. The revelation follows a series of recent incidents, including an attempted arson at a London synagogue claimed by an Iran-linked group, which police are investigating. The report underscores growing concerns over Iran's extraterritorial operations targeting Western nations.
