Summary
Britain's MI5 director Ken McCallum said Iran has escalated attempts to strike military installations in the UK, calling the suspected plot against RAF Fairford last month part of a broader pattern rather than an isolated incident. He also described Iran-led attacks on Jewish communities as "sickening" and warned of escalating hybrid threats from Russia, alongside risks from China, AI and terrorist groups.
