The Prime Minister’s recent statement about “strong indications” that Iran played a part in the suspected terrorist plot near RAF Fairford is deeply concerning and deserves our close attention.
The arrest in London of a dual British-Iranian national and two others in connection with the investigation heightens these concerns. Counter-terrorism police arrested the 25-year-old man in Westminster on suspicion of preparation of terrorist acts under the Terrorism Act 2006.
While the police investigation is ongoing, the wider threat posed by Iranian state-linked activities and actors in Britain and Europe must not be ignored.

At a meeting in Parliament today, cross-party MPs and Peers, legal experts, and members of the Anglo-Iranian Community, and representatives of the National Council of Resistance of Iran (NCRI), discussed the human rights crisis in Iran amid the ongoing conflict and warned that the systemic impunity is deteriorating an already alarming situation.
Speakers condemned the increasing executions and use of death penalty, in particular those politically motivated, targeting members of the People’s Mojahedin Organisation of Iran (PMOI/MEK) and protesters, a worrying trend documented by the UN Fact-Finding Mission.

The British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF) strongly condemns the public executions of Amirhossein Safari and Abolfazl Sepahi in Isfahan today, together with the execution of Mehdi Khanki and the continuing wave of executions across Iran. These barbaric acts constitute grave violations of fundamental human rights and form part of the Iranian regime's systematic policy of repression, intimidation, and the silencing of dissent.

Calls for a comprehensive strategy against the Iranian Regime
The British Committee for Iran Freedom (BCFIF) warmly welcomes the United Kingdom’s decision to proscribe the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) as a terrorist organisation. This crucial, long-overdue step is essential to confronting one of the world’s most dangerous instruments of state-sponsored terrorism, domestic repression, and regional destabilisation.
