Global Alliance Condemns Iran's Covert Operations

Britain and 13 allies, among them the United States and France, have expressed a collective denunciation of what they identify as a surge in assassination, kidnapping, and harassment operations orchestrated by Iranian intelligence services in Europe and North America.

The coalition highlighted their unanimous objection to Iran's attempts to violate sovereignty in a joint statement, urging the cessation of such illegal activities. Countries like Albania, Austria, Belgium, Canada, Czechia, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden, the UK, and the US revealed that these actions are often executed with the aid of international criminal networks.

The Iranian embassy in London was unavailable for immediate comment, though it previously labeled a UK report on this threat as baseless. Since 2022, Britain claims to have disrupted over 20 Iran-linked plots within its borders. In a related action, the British government announced new measures requiring Tehran to disclose all political influence maneuvers.
