The United Kingdom summoned Iran’s most senior diplomat in London over the country’s alleged role in directing proxy groups to carry out attacks across Europe. Charge d’Affaires Ali Nasimfar was summoned to the foreign ministry over the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Quds Force allegedly directing a group to carry out attacks between March and May.
Alleged Proxy Attacks
The British Foreign Ministry identified the proxy group as the Islamic Movement of the Companions of the Right, calling the activity ‘completely unacceptable.’ Despite repeated warnings, Iran’s intelligence services have not ceased in their hostile activity, instead seeking to intensify their malign behavior.
The Iranian embassy in London could not be reached for comment. Iran has previously denied using proxies. The Quds Force is the IRGC’s overseas arm, and the United States has designated the IRGC as a terrorist organisation.
